Strong Barrel aged Sour Ale. The Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien is a strong sour ale of mixed fermentation, aged during a year in old wine oak barrels. The oak aging and the action of wild yeasts confer this beer’s astonishing wide range of aromas. Its outstanding komplexity, balance, roundness and long finish, are the fruit of the meticulous blend of selected barrels. On the palate the blend reminds one of fruity red wines with a pronounced balsamic sourness. The best way to enjoy a Bon-Chien is to serve it in an elegant wine glass at 16°C or 60.6°F paired with a duck breast or some panned foie gras for example.

From tap at Oersoep Craft Beer Festival 2018. Big puckering sourness with an aroma of malt, wood, notes of red wine, caramel, light funk, marmalade, vinegar, and apricot. Big dry sour finish, medium body. Another pretty brilliant Saint Bon-Chien.

Аромат очень кислый и сложный. Ощущаются прежде всего овощи вроде томатов и сельдерея. Есть ассоциации на сухофрукты с намеками на мед, также сено и квашенные яблочки, в целом что то между Фландрийским и ламбиком. Цвет полу мутный, желтый, пены почти нету. Вкус такой же сложный как аромат. Сразу ощущаются нотки яблок с яблочной ноткой от дрожжей. Немного ягод, прежде всего от красной смородины. При глотке хмелевая сухость а также сильная лимонаня кислота, которая плавно перетекает в яблочки. Снова есть доля от сухофруктов а также специй, напоминает гвоздику и также перец. Алкоголь не ощущается вообще. В целом вообще очень благородное пиво, очень сложное, которое сложно пить часто, но опыт приятен.

A bit disappointing. Strong but nothing special, too sweet. Too old everything good has died. Moeder lambic Brussels
