100% Brettanomyces dark beer, fermented in stainless and aged in used red wine barrels. “Brett” is a unique yeast strain that produces flavors that would be offensive if they weren’t intentional. 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.

1/II/20 - 75cl bottle, 2016 vintage, as a gift, shared @ nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging, BB: n/a (2020-90) Thanks to Luk VE for the bottle!
Clear reddish brown beer, practically no head. Aroma: quite some vinegar, some red fruits, tannins, red wine barrels, bit dusty, oxidized. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty acidic, lemony, vinegar notes, fruity, some black cherries, red wine notes, pretty dry, some tannins. Aftertaste: dry, fruity, red berries, pretty bitter, quite a sharp vinegar touch, bit dusty.
