Based on the Flemish classic (Oud Bruijn) this very complex beer has many flavor facets. Brewed using redwood tips and the rare New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hop, this lively red ale is aged in wine, bourbon, brandy, and port barrels before blending. The final blend also includes a small amount of our Grand Cru (a blend of both Brother David’s Belgian ales aged in wine barrels). The resulting beer is very complex medium-bodied beer with a vinous character from the wine barrels and spicy notes from both the redwood tips and the Nelson Sauvin hops. Combined with a light sourness from the bacterial fermentation, these myriad flavors are underlined by a smooth, round Belgian character from the Grand Cru – extremely complex yet very drinkable.

Draft at Pizzeria Paradiso - Dupont Circle. Poured a dark ruby color. Aroma was a touch of sour, almost wine like, with a touch of caramel. Well... the aroma was nice enough. The flavor was, eh, "interesting" - Funky. Strange. Coffee, red wine, woody. But the curdled milk...

Draft. Clear maroon color, bright tan head. Aroma of slightly sour caramel. Taste is very sour and acidic vanilla and lemon juice. Rough stuff.

Draft. Mahogony beer with a cream colored head. Malt and light tart aroma. White wine and red wine flavor (yes a blend of both) with sweet malt and light tartness. Medium bodied. White wine and red wine lingers with sweet malt, light tartness, and light bourbon,

Tap at the Bistro BA fest. Pours slightly ruddy amber. Decent sour aroma. More than full bodied. Brown sugar with sour. It’s also hoppy and a bit vinous. It’s complex. Brilliant.
