Epilogue, a Bière de Coupage that more closely follows the blending approach of the Belgian classics that inspired the two. Epilogue consists of approximately 60% wine puncheon aged Bloom’d, our open-fermented saison, and 40% spontaneous beer from our Music Vale Compositions program. There’s something truly special about this style - the combination of appropriately bitter/dry/hoppy saison with complex spontaneous beer is wonderful and we couldn't be happier with this beer specifically.

750mL bottled Dec 2021, drunk 3/6/23. Pours a mostly clear, peachy-brass-golden. Small, off-white head showing moderate retention. Lovely nose shows both barrel/oak and wild culture with moderate lactic and light acetic notes. Some fruity bretts and sacchs with low saison character - more of an American wild ale feel to it. Soft, deep malts adding rustic grain with light honey and bread. Clean, no alcohol noted. Soft and almost juicy with plentiful acidity though not punchy or vinegar-like. There's some light acetic though no bile-like character. Very fruity, playful, effervescent and soft, well-structured maltiness with good attenuation. Pepper, cherry, oak, vanilla, lingering lactic acidity.
