Track 9′s origins trace back to a few barrels of Cuvee de Tomme that didn’t mature in time for the 2011 release. We held these back to let them age a while longer and later opted to add currants to the mix to see what would happen.
Left to nature’s devices, the currants married into the raisin and cherry already present in the beer and created a full-bodied fruit intensity we hadn’t quite expected. Liking what we tasted, we decided to bump the melange with an addition of Brettanomyces for a little extra oomph. The results are a unique blend that delivers a great combination of plummy fruits, round malts and just enough funk to remind you Brett’s in the house and doing her thing.

375mL bottle, pours a murky dark amber, no head. Nose is rather oxidized, with balsamic, tart red fruits, and a little oak. Flavour is enamel-strikingly harsh, with acetic, intense balsamic, and wood. Way too acetic at this point. Barely drinkable.

Bottle bought through Drikkeriget. Pours hazy reddish brown with a very small offwhite head that doesn’t leave muche trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is fruity and acetic with sourdough bread, lemon juice, cherries, currants, hay, dry soil, vinegar, lemon zest and hints of alcohol. Taste is sour and fruity. mouthfeel is dry, tart, tiny boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sour and fruity with sour cherries, currants, hay, minerals, barnyard, vinegar and lemon zest. Cool version! I feel I like the regular without the currant astringency better. --- Beer merged from original tick of Track #9: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door on 15 Oct 2016 at 22:44 - Score: 7.

375 mL bottle poured and shared by Tcon. Thanks T! Awesome. Pours a thick reddish brown with a cream foam ring head. Big wood, cherry, and tart aroma and flavor. Huge pucker up front with a mellow out black cherry finish. Exactly my kind of beer. Why can’t I get this regularly? Loved it.

Bottle. It’s a lightly hazy light brown beer with a minimal layer of beige bubbles. The aroma is a bit weak, with caramel notes, some nuttyness and lemony hints. Leather and barnyard hints. Some sour berries too. It’s full-bodied and quite nicely carbonated, maybe even too heavy, rather tart and quite warming. It’s lemony, nutty and with a faint funky touch. Sort of sweet in the finish, but still tart and dry. Raisins, alcohol, lemony sourness and some berries and blue plums. Perhaps a bit warm this one, and a bit too much of most things, but it’s sure a nice one anyway, growing as you drink. 141220
