Gut Wolf Beer Introduces Roasted Chestnut Dark Ale 'Liberi Di Sognare'
Gut Wolf Beer in Higashi-Yoshino Village, Nara, introduced its 'roasted chestnut dark ale' on Instagram. On Untappd, it is listed as 'Liberi Di Sognare,' and it is presented as a dark ale reminiscent of roasted chestnuts.
Hop BroToday I picked up a new release from Gut Wolf Beer in Higashi-Yoshino Village, Nara. They posted a roasted chestnut dark ale on Instagram, and even the name already makes it sound fragrant.
MugiWhoa! A roasted chestnut dark ale? That already sounds delicious. Is it like a beer that tastes like chestnut sweets? I'm curious!
Hop BroOn Untappd, it's registered under the name Liberi Di Sognare, and the style is Dark Ale. The description also says Roasted chestnut dark ale, so it's basically a beer built around a roasted-chestnut-like aroma.
MugiWhat does that mean! Is Dark Ale different from black beer? I feel like a beer lesson is about to start all of a sudden!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, you can think of it as a dark, toasty kind of ale. Roasted malt gives off a strong aroma, and what's interesting about this one is that it layers on a sweet, chestnut-like toastiness.
MugiOhh! So the toasty aroma is the star. When I hear roasted chestnuts, I think of the kind you want to buy from a street stall with the steam rising around you!
Hop BroWhat's more, Gut Wolf Beer is known for making the most of Higashi-Yoshino Village's nature. Against the backdrop of mountain water, this new release sits in a lineup that includes local-ingredient beers like Ryo-Rou, Kuro Wolf, and Yuzu Bee.
MugiWait, they even used Yoshino cedar and roasted green tea? That's less like beer and more like a Higashi-Yoshino specialty collection!
Hop BroExactly. What makes them great is that you can really see the character of the land. This roasted chestnut dark ale should also be enjoyable as an extension of their local-beer lineup, and even though it feels autumn-winter-ish, it's the kind you want to reach for any time of year.
MugiAnd it even has a name that means 'the freedom to dream' - that's so romantic. A beer like this being born in the mountains is just way too lovely.
Hop BroSo in short, it's a beer you want to taste for both its fragrant chestnut notes and the atmosphere of Higashi-Yoshino. Talking about it has already made me want one right now.
MugiI completely agree! Let's toast with the roasted chestnut dark ale and call today a win!
