Brewed by Local Option at Central Waters Brewery in Amherst Wisconsin and originally released in January, the latest variant of La Petite Mort spent six months in Heaven Hill barrels and will be available in limited supply in bottle in Chicago and on draft at Local Option on May 24^th.  Full description follows:

 
When Central Waters decided to open its brew house for its first collaboration beer, Chicago’s Local Option was the obvious partner in crime.  The resulting brainchild, La Petite Mort – a Belgian inspired Weissenbock – maintains the traditional characteristics of its Bavarian forbearer, with the added complexity of Belgian ale yeast.  La Petite Mort is dark amber in color; maintains a rich, full-bodied mouth-feel augmented by caramel; mild and dark fruit.  Rounded out by an unostentatious bourbon driven aroma from brief bourbon barrel aging, La Petite Mort is a complex ale, a marriage of distinctive styles, and an orgasmic experience for the taste buds that revel in its glory.
