Wealth & Taste (2012) | Deep Ellum Brewing Company
ABV: 9.5%
IBU: 25
Style: Belgian Strong Golden Ale
Out of Production
Description: Please allow me to introduce our first barrel aged release, Wealth & Taste. It is a strong, golden Belgian-style Ale brewed with Muscat grape juice, Grapefruit peel, rose hips and chamomile flowers and partially aged in Missouri White Oak barrels that spent the last seven to eight years housing Chardonnay in Napa. A siren and a seducer of significant potency, an opportunistic beverage overflowing with opulence now, but content to lay in waiting for just the devilishly decadent moment. 9.5% ABV. 25 IBUs. Wealth & Taste has been a long time coming, over a year, in fact. We brewed the initial pilot batch shortly after my Texas arrival and served it at the 2011 Eno's Brew Riot and our 1st annual BrewBQ. It started as a wild idea and has only strayed ever so slightly from the very first version (it originally contained lavender, but after realizing that some people had become a little too attached to their lavender scented hygiene products, we changed gears and selected Rose Hips to round out the spicing). Regarding the name, Wealth & Taste, it is a roundabout tribute to three of our inspirations. The name itself comes from a line in The Rolling Stones' classic Sympathy for the Devil.
