After Saison du Fermier had been fermented in and aged in Chardonnay barrels for several months, we inoculated one barrel with wild Missouri yeast and bacteria and continued the oak-aging. This added deep layers of complexity and soft, rounded oak nuances to Oude Fermier. This old farmhouse ale was aged for 18 months before its release.

Blend #2 (May 2017) 750mL bottle drunk 2/13/24. Deep, peachy-golden-maize. Small ring of bubbles to edge quickly. Lots of deep, woody acidity. Moderate-to-heavy acetic, moderate-to-heavy lactic, moderate Brett. Some definite Chardonnay character, but it's not as dominant as some of their Chard-aged sours. Bright citrus, vanilla, long oak and rich, honey-like maltiness with no alcohol noted. In the mouth it's moderately sour, though not puckering, with moderate acetic acid and moderate-to-heavy lactic acidity. Big oak, big chardonnay, big malt. Just a big ol' rich, intense, over-the-top sour that SP seems to love making.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a strong cheesy funk, some yogurt, light sour fruits and light grains. Flavor has the same yogurt and tart light fruit with a bit or light grain backing.
