From the barrel room comes this oak aged specialty release. Every so often we receive French Oak barrels that previously held red wine. If our brewers have extra time (and beer) they have been known to age some of our Lost and Found Abbey Ale in these barrels.

Bottle thanks to a generous trader but I cannot remember who. Pours a murky earthy red with a gray is head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of sour dark red fruits with a good amount of dry red wines and a hint of funk. Flavor was extremely sour with dark red fruits with and a good amount of acid and quite a dry red wine finish.

375mL cork and cage bottle shared by Matt, thanks man. Oh, its not flat, actually a very strong carbonation. Aroma is signature Lost Abbey (not a good thing). It was something that I could have liked 3-4 years ago but now understand how bad it is. Its all acetic, poor, unmanaged sourness. The flavor is similarly thin in flavor, has a thin body, and is overly acetic with no counterbalanced elements.

Cloudy brown beer with a thin biscuit head. A sourish beer that could have been too sour for me if not kept in check by the French oak. The result is a well balanced beer, a little sour and fairly dry. Soft oak tones but no vanilla/cream. Fruity and rich wine flavours in the finish and the aftertaste. Very quaffable!

12.7 fl oz corked and caged bottle shared by mreusch. Pour is a hazed brown golden ruby with not much of an off white head. Aroma is the standard Lost Abbey sour; touch of vinegar, cherry fruit, vanilla oak, leather - all pretty brash and sharp. Taste is acidic vinegar sour up front, followed close behind with wood, tannins, vanilla oak - finishing with more dry wood and some alcohol heat. Palate is brightly acidic, medium bodied, lighter carbonation and the dry hot finish. Thanks for sharing this one Matt.

375mL bottle, pours murky dark reddish brown with a small head. Aroma of sour fruits (various berries), oak, red wine and subtle dry caramel malts. Complex flavours of oak, red wine and sour fruits - the vinous character is the most dominant, with the oak and sour fruits lingering toward to the end. Dry palate, but full-bodied. Delicious, especially considering this isn't normally a preferred style of mine.
