Tasting Notes

Mezcal Barrel Aged Beer for Tacos satiates our thirst for smokey beer yet holds broader appeal so we won’t have to drink it all ourselves. Our gose is aged in Mezcal Reposado ex-bourbon barrels and picks up a heavy dose of desert, rose-esque, smoky char while integrating the yogurty tang of our house Lactobacillus, notes of key lime pie, and a surprising vanilla and caramel sweetness.

The Barrels

Mezcal Reposado spirit is aged in barrels for 2 to 12 months. (Reposado translates to “rested” in Spanish.) The particular barrels we chose first aged bourbon, before being refilled with Mezcal, and lastly refilled with Beer for Tacos. The short rest in these barrels provide the base beer with complex layers of flavor pull out of the wood.
