This is an aged Belgian red ale, which is ‘ripened quietly in oak barrels for two years’, according to the label. It has an extremely pungent aroma of rich grapey fruit, with acidic notes, very much like a slightly sour red wine or possibly a gueuze. In the mouth it is slightly sweet, extremely acidic and fruity, with grapes and even cherries discernible, and very lively. Despite the sweetness it is not at all cloying, even thin, with little or no trace of malt. Finish is sharp and fruity

Bottle at HopDog, best before Feb 27. Murky deep brown, reddish. Tart, wood, cherry funky. Full, front heavy, but then long. Chalky dry oak, but not in a bad way. Fruity, tangy. I like this.

Draught @ Brouwerij Rodenbach. Pours a deep dark reddish brown, large off-white head. Aroma brings to mind red wine, redcurrants, fruitcake. Flavour profile continues in a similar profile, very nicely balanced, moderate acidity, soft textures in the palate, gentle tangy red berries fruits, soft fruity linger. Great to try 'fresh' at the brewery.
