We’d like you to know that we’ve taken some inspiration from the wine world for this blend. We have one oak barrel that was a sour base beer with Cabernet Franc grapes. We also stole a barrel of Brandy Angel’s Share that was earmarked for the next Angel’s Share Grand Cru. Lastly we blended in a barrel of Red Wine French Oak barrel aged Gift of the Magi with a smooth oak bretty backbone to complete the blend.

The beer is meant to be consumed and treated like a red wine. We expect there will be little to no bubbles. The oak presence is quite strong and the beer certainly will develop into a much rounder ale with some time in the cellar. Not all our beers are designed to be consumed early in their life. We took a chance with this one that more time would be a benefit to the blend. We expect those who have the patience to wait will be rewarded

Bottle courtesy of ygtbsm94, thanks! Murky brown color. I don’t need to mention the head. Aroma of balsamic vinegar. Taste is similar. Nearly undrinkable.

Bottle. Pours reddish brown. Nose and taste of oak, brandy, wet leather, grape skin, caramel, cherry vinegar, lemon juice, acid and earth. Mouth-puckering tartness. Full bodied. A bit harsh.

Looks like a cherry wine. Still completely flat Totally acetic vinegar nose. Lots of cherries. Very sour. Some vinegar and grape skins. There’s a lot of soy sauce?

375mL bottle, pours a dark, dark mahogany with zero head. Aroma of sour grapes, other soured dark fruits, a lot less roastiness than the '09. Flavour is a bit odd, hard to describe, with quite sour grapes, oak barrels, wood, and more sourness. Very intrusive sourness lingers on the tongue. Extreme and very enjoyable, though I prefer the '09.

Shared at a Lost Abbey sour tasting. Poured with plenty of dark ruby notes, not a whole lot of head (as expected from previous pours today). Some wood notes, with light tart grape notes, and plenty of dried raisin notes with perhaps a touch of vanilla and oak. Pretty enjoyable.
