Malts: Pilsner Durst, aromatic Dingemans, caramunich 140 Dingemans. Hops: Hallertau Hernsbrucker, Spalt Select and East Kent Golding. EBC 40. 36°P.
Brewing process: the wort is hyperconcentrated then boiled for two hous and half. Primary fermentation for 25 in steel vessels. Then after a sterile filtration (to eliminate primary yeast strains) the beer is transfered in a steel vessel with transparent membrane and a "oxygen hat". Afeter several tasting from 6 to 24 months later (it depends on the oxidation velocity, very inconsistant!) the brewer decides when it’s time to bottle in 50cl. champagne shape bottles with good quality cork. The production is very limited. Three productions brewed during two years will be available from October 2006.
Teo Musso produces three versions Gold, Silver & Copper label which differ from each other in terms of degree of oxidation allowed and fruity perfumery aromas created. Teo’s objective is to allow Xyauyu to perfectly oxidize during the aging proces of 2.5 years {oxidation plays a critical role in aging port, sherry, as well as our vintage beers - too much oxidation will ruin the liquid - too little will not optimize the change in flavor / aroma during the aging process} .Here’s how Teo’s system works: Xyauyu is transfered to a steel vessel with transparent membrane and a "oxygen hat". After several tastings during the 2.5 year aging process Teo decides when it’s time to bottle (it all depends upon the oxidation velocity).
This golden beer reminds of an enjoyable Madera or an intriguing Chateau Chalon of the French Jura.
Editor’s note: the label says also "Riserva Teo Musso" and the vintage (year).

Fles gedeeld door Keukeman thuis geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een helder bruin bier. Het heeft een aroma van ijzer en sherry. De smaak is vol, stroperige rozijnen en vanille.

Bottle brought to "Johnny's got a new place" beer celebration. Beautiful deep dark mahogany red color, small beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, raisins strongly, molasses, soy sauce a bit, sherry notes. Heavy. Flat, no carbonation. Typical for this beer.

Still, cola-coloured beer looking as darker Noyac. Vinous, as old precious wine lagered in old nutwood casks. Hints of smoke, cigars, cigarleaf and fusels. Wood, cigars & chocolate. And a good dash of red wine. Belgian pralines with red wine ganache and fortified wine. Dark green leaves and 'some' alcohol & fusels. No carbonation whatsoever. Viscous feel, tonguefilm, hot. Alcoholthinning. Another gem by Teo M. Even better than the recently tried Fumè.
Sweet, sugary, malty, nutty, raisins, prunes, alcohol
Magus, karamelline, alkone, alkohol, oksüdeerunud, linnaseline, soojendav, rosinane. Hea.
Sweet, malty and heavy with prunes, figs, oak, wood, toffee, syrup, caramel and hints of earthiness. A bit heavy and complex slow sipper

0,5 flaske (2013-årgangen), delt med Steven hos ham: mørk kastanjefarge helt uten skum. Vi lar den lufte seg litt i glassene før vi går i gang og blir belønnet med en nydelig aroma av svisker og andre tørkede frukter, lær, dessertchokolader, madeira og marinerte rosiner. Den lekre og komplekse smaken følger opp og varmer kropp og sjel. Hint av konsentrerte røde druer og mørk kandis i avslutningen. A superb nightcap.
