Nebraska Brewing Company Melange a Trois

Melange a Trois
Self-Defined Style: 
Chardonnay Barrel Aged Belgian Strong
Specifications
Strength (ABV): 
10.0% ABV

The beer formerly known as Chardonnay Blonde. Our first beer in the Reserve Series, Melange a Trois begins with a wonderfully big Strong Belgian-Style Blonde Ale and moves into the extraordinary category through an additional 6 month French Oak Chardonnay Wine Barrel maturation.

The essence of Chardonnay permeates while a subtle sweetness remains from the Ale itself.

Oak tannins combine to create a fascinating mesh of dry, sweet, and wine-like character.

One of our favorites!

Best With: 
Rich, sweet desserts. Vanilla, cherries, apricots. Perfect with Mako Shark.
