22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; 2016 vintage, bottled in 6/2017. Pours fairly crystal clear ruby red/copper color with a 2 finger dense off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tart/sour red/black cherry, blackberry, raisin, plum, fig, date, lemon, lime, red/green apple, currant, red grape, red wine, hay, straw, grass, toasted oak, leathery/musty funk, honey, caramel, brown sugar, and bread; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, dark/bready malt, and oak barrel notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tart/sour red/black cherry, blackberry, raisin, plum, fig, date, lemon, lime, red/green apple, currant, red grape, red wine, hay, straw, grass, toasted oak, leathery/musty funk, honey, caramel, brown sugar, and bread; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tartness and light yeast/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/sour red/black cherry, blackberry, raisin, plum, fig, date, lemon, lime, red/green apple, currant, red grape, red wine, hay, straw, grass, toasted oak, leathery/musty funk, honey, caramel, brown sugar, bread, light vanilla/vinegar, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, dark/bready malt, and oak barrel flavors; with an awesome malt/tartness balance; and zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from tart/sourness and yeast/oak spiciness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, fairly acidic, and lightly tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an amazing Flanders red ale! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, dark/bready malt, and oak barrel flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, with the mellowly lactic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Outstanding fruity/funky Brett and Lacto complexity, perfectly balanced dark/bready malts, and nice oak presence. A touch too heavy on the darker fruits, but the malt backbone was perfect. Never overly sour or lactic. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. One of the best ones I have had.

Sample at the tap room. Clear bronze-amber color with a medium white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of tart fruit, oak, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of tart cherry, oak, yeast and biscuit malt. The finish is sour with a cherry aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
