Cuvée Renard: Whisky barrel aged brut.
Ruim 15 maanden rijping op 4 verschillende Schotse whiskyvaten. Nadien gedegorgeerd “methode champenoise” bij Dame Jeanne “Brut d’Anvers”. Verwacht je aan licht vineuze aroma’s, zware houten toetsen, whisky komt achterna, met een stevige, licht pompelmoesbittere finish.

2023 Ed. Small, rather resistant white head, bit fluffy, over pale golden hazy beer with fine pearling. Bit soapy nose, lime, paradise seed, kümmel. Immediate sourish onset, itself immediately followed by spicy flavour - again as paradise seed, black cumin etc., limerind, and whisky in the background. Quite carbonated feel; slick, very faint alcoholwarmth. It's complex, yes. It's neat, cared for, yes. But it remains a "brut beer", something pretending that it isn't, and more boring even than what it wants to emulate. Txs to Stef!

Bottle at home @ ZZT 2024. Pale golden color, small white head. Aroma remind smell of "Duindoorn bessen" with herbal and spicy influences. Flavor is weird and unpleasant, "trekdrop", weirdness. Barrel aging? Don't get it. Odd and bad. Drainpour.
