It was aged by a second fermentation in bottle (like in sparkling wine).

But all bottle-conditioned beer has a secondary fermentation. Can't be this.
It was aged in Lycra.

Aged with bottom fermenting yeasts rather than top fermenting yeasts.

Using time as the main ingredient. In a cheese cave.

I think Owen is getting there. Was it aged with a close awareness of Bergsonian time and a nod to Proust?

It is bottle conditioned (I believe), but that's not the aspect that I'm looking for.
Not aged in Lycra, though that's the closest guess so far.
I don't know what type of yeast was used (so regardless, that's not the correct answer).
Not in a cheese cave.
Not literary.
I may have been too precise in my terminology. I'm not a beer person, so "aging" may not be the correct term for what was done to this beer.

Nope, just looked it up online and the brewer uses the word "aged" in the description of what I'm looking for as the answer.

Yes, bourbon barrels. Bourbon County Stout by Goose Island Beer Company is the beer in question.

It was the only guess about the container that the beer was aged in.

Lovely. An old favourite. Very good Guinness and they used to have excellent toasties too. Half of Ireland used to survive on toasted cheese and ham in smouldering plastic.

I understand and enjoy the bumpy cheese sandwich but, at the risk of swearing in church, wherein lies the enjoyment of imbibing Guiness? With tar being its closest relative in terms of appearance and flavour, the romantic ideal of G is lost on me. Give me an ale anyday, cold, with head and preferably Belgian. That said i do like the Meantime IPA rather a lot.

I am sitting at my desk, typing Christie’s data, drinking Offley LBV 2007, and listening to an opera at which I am, again, cackling. What opera? (And, bonus point, what’s cooking?)

I don't know much about opera. So I would just guess: Magic Flute?
As for cooking: a stew?

I don't believe you. I have had it before, and will never do so again. If the alternative to eating tongue was vegetarianism I would be all greened-up.

A clue so we can all get to bed; this motif is found as far away as China but is not uncommon on the decorative bosses in church roofs.
