Thanks very much to everybody at Perennial




Perennial Devil's Heart of Gold
Wheat Wine Style Ale aged in bourbon barrels

Save the date -- 
Release Party - May 18th from (6pm-7pm)

We will taste....
Perennial Heart of Gold Wheat Wine

"Heart of Gold is a 10% wheat wine with a deep caramel color. It is very much an American-style, coming in around 70 IBUs. It has a rich caramel malt finish, and the bitterness stands up nicely to the residual sweetness that is typical of higher alcohol beers." 

Perennial Devil's Heart of Gold - Barrel Aged

Barrel Aged Version of Heart of Gold -- aged in a Knob Creek Barrel since October 6. It is scheduled to be bottled, just a few days past 7 months in barrel.

Knob Creek 9yr Bourbon
We saved a bottle from the barrel that this beer was aged in for 7 months. You can taste the bourbon that aged in the same barrel (for 9 years) as the beer if you like.

The beer will also be released on May 18, watch for the link on that day

More info....
The name "Devil's Heart of Gold" comes from what they call the "Devil's Cut".   When a bourbon ages in a barrel, a portion of the bourbon evaporates - this is called the "Angel's share".   Another portion of the bourbon gets absorbed into the new oak barrel -- this is called the "Devil's cut".    Therefore, the Heart of Gold beer aging in the barrel starts to absorb back some of the Devil's Cut and hence the name "Devil's Heart of Gold".



Perennial took their Heart of Gold and aged it in a Knob Creek 9yr Old Barrel back in October 2011.   The beer will have been resting for 7 months in barrel!
