Mortalis — Erebus Amburana Barrel-Aged Red Wax

Détails techniques

Profil de dégustation

This Amburana barrel-aged expression of Erebus pours pitch black with a dense mocha crown, releasing aromas of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and the unmistakable signature of Amburana wood: cinnamon, clove, and toasted coconut. The palate unfolds with layers of vanilla, charred oak, and warming baking spice, woven through a base of bittersweet cacao and rich caramel. Hints of maple and marshmallow soften the edges, while the exotic Brazilian oak imparts a distinctive sandalwood and spiced cake character. Full-bodied and decadent, it finishes long with lingering chocolate, coffee, and aromatic spice warmth.

Accords avec les aliments

Pair with a slice of cinnamon-spiced tres leches cake or churros dusted with sugar to echo the Amburana wood’s signature spice notes. Alternatively, serve alongside aged gouda or a dark chocolate flourless torte, where the roasted malt and bittersweet cacao depth amplify the beer’s barrel-driven complexity.
