750mL bottle, one and only blend, drunk 3/27/25 at a cool 9 years old.
Pours a clear copper-brass. Good-sized, off-white head shows plentiful life.
And no oxidation! And, on top of that, little/no acetic! Instead, a round, buttery oak character with low tannin, mild brett and lacto and well-integrated wine notes. Lovely fruitiness on the finish with more of that lovely, round oak. Nothing aggressive/weird.
Earthy/granite notes up front and drying out the finish with buttery oak throughout and plentiful grape character. Still very tart bordering sour, but the acetic, if it was here, is minimal. Instead, a very strong lactic presence with mild, fruity brett remains. Soft, chewy, slick body with ample depth is not overattenuated. Lingering lemony-tart acids, yogurt notes, earthy granite, juicy wine and round oak all provide for a complex, robust sour beer experience.
