Brekeriet White Label
Brettlehem is a Scanian Christmas beer spiced with cloves, that gives a special character by fermentation with the mixture of different yeast strains, particularly those of the genus Brettanomyces. The beer is carbonated naturally by fermentation in the bottle which gives a thin layer of yeast sediment on the bottom.
The taste of this beer continues to develop in the bottle for a long time.

Bottle on October 20, 2013. Thanks to Skakapa! Marked 2012.Dark brown to black color, big fluffy brown head. Brett, sort of sweet scent. Reminiscent of fermented tate, hard to describe. Metallic, wheat aftertaste. Semi smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Bottle bought through Systembolaget. Pours hazy dirt brown with a frothy and creamy brownish white head that slowly dissipates while leaving some trace on the glass. Smell is malty, heavy spicy and tiny funky with sweet dark bread, bread spices, curacao, cloves, allspice, black pepper corns, wood, barnyard, lemon zest, St John’s wort and hints of smoked meats and liquorice root. Taste is slightly bitter, tiny sour, malty, spicy and tiny funky with dark bread, lemon zest, barnyard, moist wood, red wine, black pepper corns, cloves, St John’s wort, liquorice root, allspice, moist soil, cured meats, leather and hints of smoke. Mouthfeel is round, soft, tiny spicy astringent and medium bodied. Finish is bitter, spicy and funky with dark bread, lemon zest, black pepper corns, cloves, allspice, barnyard, leather and cured meats. Weird but also interesting...

Bottle. Pours dark Brown with a creamy grey head. Fresh aroma with notes of nutmeg and sour cherries. Taste is malty, spicy and bretty at the same time. Notes of nutmeg, milk chocolate, salmiak and sour yeast funk. Nice balance. Smooth. Maybe a little too thin? Interesting!

Mörkt brun med lågt småbubbligt skum. Typisk brett-doft + nejlika. Välkyddad med nejlika, lätt kropp, frisk, lätt syrlig. Brettanomycerna och nejlikorna gifter sig mycket väl. Den rostade malten märks inte alls. Annorlunda och gott men lite enkelspårig.

Bottled. A hazy dark red beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of cloves, cinnamon, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of cinnamon, cloves, roasted malt, caramel, and bread, leading to a dry spicy finish.
