About this beer

Proper Brewing Co.’s Carcosa is an American Malt Gruit-style ale weighing in at 9.5% ABV. Brewed with American and UK malts, water, yarrow, labrador tea, and notably, aged within Pinot Noir barrels, this beer presents a complex flavor profile described on the label as “body,” “malt,” “bitter,” “sour,” “herbal,” and “fruit.” The inclusion of yarrow and labrador tea points to a deliberate herbal character within the brew, complementing the fruity and potentially tart notes imparted by the barrel aging process and gruit tradition.

The label artwork features a striking, somewhat surreal depiction of a wolf’s head formed from swirling branches and foliage, creating a dark and mystical aesthetic. Beneath the illustration, the text “Barrel Aged Gruit-style with Herbs” is prominently displayed, reinforcing the beer's key characteristics. The overall impression suggests a robust, nuanced, and interestingly flavored ale, leaning towards darker fruit and herbal complexities.
