We’ve long had a fascination & adoration of the Flanders Red style beer. Sour, but with a rounded sweetness; complex, yet effortlessly drinkable. Often described as the most wine like of all the beers, we set out to create one that has more in common with a Burgundy than a Bitter. Using our own ‘dark pale’ malt, mashed warmer than usual, we added aged hops in the boil, then aged it in red wine barrels with our own mixed culture of wild yeast and bacteria. The barrels were then blended resulting in a dark red beer with suble layers of tannins, spice, acidity, sweetness and a hint of oak.

Bottle from Beer Cavern, Nottingham, drunk at home. Burgundy, very translucent and very flat. Aroma is oaky, vinous and sour with notes of dark chocolate and savoury cooking herbs. Intensely tart taste, some red wine, some soy sauce. Long sour finish. Body is thin and flat, I'd prefer a little more substance. Very nice beer, my first rate of 2019!
