Super funky cherry with a full body wine

Damn lovely.

Medium red-pink head, gone in seconds over beautiful deep cardinal red beer, almost clear until very last of bottle. Intense vinous nose, red grapes, red wine, tannine. Given without tasting, 99% of samplers would claim wine. Quite sour, here's the difference. Lambic-like acids, but the barnyard/horseblanket flavours are all but erased. In the background musk-like wineflavours, and lemon at the tonguesides. Sharp and serious acidthinning, some -burn. Almost no carbonation, not disturbing, the winecharacter enforced. Quite slick, somehow. Nose is out of this world. Sure those barrels were empty? Kudo's for the achievement, but I'm really getting tired of this repressive attitude to sales. Leave it to your customers to judge whom they sell to, they know better than you!

22/IV/21 - 75cl bottle, shared @ home, BB: +5Y, bottled: 25/VII/20, lot: 2019BLR (2021-313)

Clear deep ruby red beer, small creamy light pink head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit oxidized, lots of cherries, red fruits, marzipan notes. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, lots of cherries, nice acidity, some wine gums, bit lemony, tannins. Aftertaste: brett notes, lots of sour cherries, some red grapes, more tannins, acidic, some vinegar, pretty dry and bitter finish.

Heavy fleshy cherry character and supplementing red grapes. Hint of raisins and lambic funk. Lovely stuff!
