Backlog pga av försvunnen post efter bytet från Ratebeer. Flaska köpt av Himmerigets öl-van. Min första Z&F och en riktig wow-upplevelse. Det händer så mycket och så komplex med mycket mer fat-karaktär än den vanliga Oude Gueuze. Fantastiskt gott.

750ml (thx, Renny) @ SF. Amazing mix of 3F funk and sherry barrels accompanied by some nice sweetness. It has pretty low carbonation, nice sherry notes, and funk. Good one.

Hazy tan sort of colour, with no head. The aroma has a touch of leather but also...it's odd...is that a phenol? Or some sherry influence? It's got on the palate some sherry, some wheatiness. It's quite tart.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy bright amber orange with a small white head. Aroma has some pitted stone fruits, a touch of manure, some funk, some rotting fruits, and sherry. Flavour is full on sherry-forward, with plenty of acidity, gentle funk, and some subtle stone fruits. Very nice sherry and old leather on the finish. Very good.

Bottle pour at Beer Merchants Tap. Pours hazy gold with thin white lacing clinging to the glass. Aroma is funky sour hit, biscuit grains, a little burnt plastic, a hint of tart orange, white grape. Taste is a really balanced subtle sour funk, white grape, oak. Lovely dry finish. Cracking stuff

750 bottle, blend 49 season 17/18, shared by Werckmeister, many thanks!
Aroma of funk, horse blanket, some cheese, sherry, citrus, some red apple. Tastes similar, with slight honey.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes medium dry, a bit acidic, funky, citric, with sherry, some apple.
Delicious! So complex and characterful, with lots of rustic funk, lovely sherry and fruit notes. Just enough acidity, drinks really balanced and elegant. Score: 9 / 4 / 9 / 4 / 17
