Recipe Notes
Tasting notes for Wild Beer Co Modus Operandi: Modus Operandi is the perfect partner to game, with a moreish acidity after ageing for many months in bourbon and red wine barrels. This beer was made for this dish, deep rich flavours, notes of spice and umami, and the beer's vinous red wine character cutting through and enhancing the flavours.
