A cross between a Flanders Red and a British Stock Ale, brewed with a mixture of crystal, amber and rye malts. Primary fermentation was undertaken with one of our favourite brettanomyces blends, in addition to our house culture of yeast and bacteria.
The beer was then blended (70/30) with 2 year old Amber Sour Beer aged Rye Whiskey barrels.
We transferred this blended beer directly onto the lees and spent fruit (200kg redcurrants/blackcurrants) from our previous Flanders Red – Blood Incantation, in addition to another 200 kg of whole victoria plums, harvested at Pittormie Fruit Farm, 7 miles from the brewery.
A portion of these plums were smoked at the brewery, using oak staves from a red wine barrel. The resulting beer is complex and vinous, with a subtle smoke.

Bouteille 37.5cl, de et partagée avec Vincent durant la final de Top Chef.
BB 26/11/2031.
Couleur sur l'ambre, col épais blanc-cassé, sans pour cela avoir une longue tenacité. Effet un peu prune confite, le fumé et délicat et vient vraiment amener cette bière à un auttre niveau - autrement aurait été trop sur l'acidité.
Arôme est sur un délicat parfum fumé de prune - à cela me vient en souvenir un rappel d'une version d'Alvinne à l'abricot. Ici aussi, un apport conséquent du cassis pour son caractère acidulé en bouche.
Palais présente un apport qualitatif des prunes fumées sur le bois d'une barrique de vin.

On tap at The Rusty Bucket, Eltham. Reddish orange pour with a light beige head. Aromas of red berries, red cherries, red apple (bit of a red theme going on 🤔), oak. Flavours of red berries, jammy red fruits, oak, sweet tobacco, raspberry sherbet. Very dry. Oodles of tart red fruits in the close.
