In the Surly brewhouse, brewing our anniversary beers means one thing: forget what ya know and try something different. In honor of five glorious years, we bring you a 100% Brettanomyces-fermented Dark Ale, aged in red wine barrels. Flavors of sour cherry, tobacco, oak, and classic “Brett” barnyard funk, balanced by Dark Munich malt chewiness. Enjoy immediately or age at cellar temperature for a couple years. Five has strong flavors of earthy black cherry and raisins with a sour finish.

Draft at Churchkey. A bit dark reddish orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was tart cherries, dried fruits, caramel, malts. Mouthfeel made my jowls quiver - good. Tartness like a dry wine, with notes of sour fruits. Enjoyed this quite a bit.

Bottle @ Too many Geuze’s - only one toilet , Ulfborg 2012 - Day 1. Reddish brown color with a quickly disappearing beige head. Sweet malty aroma, raisin, wood, vinous, soem caramel and subtle brett. Taste is more sour than I would have guessed from the smell. Very vinous, dried fruit, wood, brett. Well crafted and enjoyable.
