Did you know that
True gateway for white wine lovers to the vast world of beer, the Dulcis Succubus features slightly sour flavours which evolve according to the attributes Mother Nature imparts to our oak barrels from the Dolce Winery, also referred to as Liquid Gold. The Dolce Winery, whose specialty is a Californian version of Sauternes, only uses its barrels once, which gives highly oaky flavours to our Dulcis Succubus.
You could lose your latin”
Who it is for
Translated from Latin, ‘Dulcis Succubus’ means a sweet succubus, a female demon appearing in dreams who takes the form of a human woman in order to seduce men. She is both dreaded and desired… There you go, you have been warned: once you taste it, you will be asking for it … for eternity. This beer is intended for sour candy lovers, dreamers and epicures ready to sell their soul to be forever indulged in beauty.
