Le Coq est une bière de seigle sûre vieillie deux ans en barriques de chêne de Banyuls à laquelle ont été ajoutées, pour une maturation d’un mois, 450 livres de cerises sûres.
Il en résulte une bête ambrée et fière, à la coiffe tenace, qui présente au nez des notes lambiquées, sur fond de griottes et de sucre d’orge. Son corps mince chante dès l’aube des notes vives, au fruité fort généreux, saisissante attaque qui éveille les sens. Le tout s’étire dans une finale vineuse, légèrement oxydative, véritable ode au rafraîchissement qui pousse à la récidive.

Bottle shared at the Hackobock tasting at Craft Islington. Thanks to Andy for providing me with this one! It pours hazy reddish - brown with a small beige head. The aroma is soft, sweet, sour, tangy jammy berry, Victoria sponge, red wine, port and funk. The taste is crisp, tart, tangy, redcurrant, jammy fruits aplenty, candy, vanilla, sherbet, some acidity, wood and funk with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Works very well. Fruity, funky and tasty.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Paul. Pours clear orange with a slight, foamy white head. Good tangy fruits, berries and funk in the nose. Light sweet flavour with woody dryness, moderate acidity, peach, tangerine. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with bracing acidity, more woody dryness, citrusy tartness, a little alcohol warmth. Good stuff.

Bottle pour at Shelton Brothers. Lovely earthy cherry and wild raspberry nose. Some balsamic vinegar notes with more dark cherry and cacao. Good tartness, but mellowed out with the body, vinous texture. Solid. --- Beer merged from original tick of Le Coq on 29 Oct 2016 at 10:15 - Score: 7

0,75 bottle shared by mortlach at Buskers pub in Rome-Italy. Grazie. Pours a bright amber color going orange peel, orangish cap. Weird and nice appearance. Nose: rough and wild blast or yeast, white vinegar, barley. Mouth: dominant sour blast, some red fruit and a hint of sweet note in the background. Lovely!
