Our take on a classic style of beer. A blend of fresh and aged Flemish brown Ale. 60% of the blend was aged for over 1,5 years in a red wine foudre and after that the beer was aged for another year in bordeaux wine barriques. We also blended in a few bourbon barrel aged brown ale to give the blend a hint of American oak

Bottle shared thanks to Thijs. Slight hazy reddish brown. Roasted malts, toffee, dead leaves, oak, bourbon, plums, typical Tommie Sjef funk. Medium swret and sour, light bitter. Over medium bodied. Nice.

Tap at Winter Affair '25. Notes are brief. Very well made, with dried fruits on top of the character, raisins, prunes. But overall sufficiently complex, very nice.

At Winter Affair 2025, humm... actually thanks to others who brought it to the table, so not 100% sure if it was bottled or on tap, but it seems it might have been 0.75l bottle looking at pics from there. Anyway, hazy red body, some off-white head. Creamy aroma, berries, berry flavored gum in a way. Lean, dry, tart taste, some berries, gum, bit grainy somehow, fresh and not terribly complex but quite drinkable - okay 'nuff!
