Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailL’Ultima Luna

The Last Moon is the beer that I designed to celebrate the birth of my first son, Matthew. Remember that during the months of waiting I thought to much beer that I devoted, I wanted to be deep, complex, evocative and that you could devote a long ageing. I decided to use used barrels of Amarone (one of my first loves in the oenological field), but filled only for 2/3 of their volume, so as to promote the beer oxidation with air (a tribute to my past in Andalusia, oxidized wines of a land where I left a piece of heart). The beer (if you can still call) was supposed to originally aged 9 months, but with the experience I realized that the minimum ageing for this beer is 18 months. On the label there are quotes from Dali and Saint-Exupéry, the image of the child raising the sea surrealisticamente is a clear reference to Matthew. What fascinates me in this beer is the exceptional complexity of the tertiary aromas (leather, cheese rind, madeira, wood, toasted almonds) data from oxidation, one thing I like to do is leave open bottles and berle after about 3 months to raise the level of enjoyment.
