In late spring 2022, we received a batch of 2-year-old Danish Shipyard Ale that had been aged in Chardonnay barrels at the Baghaven Blenderia from passionate port lover Ehren Schmidt. We carefully blended it with 1-year-old lambic and a touch of very young lambic. After an additional 2 years of aging in Bordeaux barrels, we finalized it with a 50/50 ratio of lambic and Danish Shipyard Ale.

Bottle, directly from Bofkont. Color: Slightly hazy golden to amber, very thin white head. Aroma: Vinuous, fortified wine, funky, some tartness. Taste: Complex mix of fruity lime and unripe apricot, some green apple, red wine, fortified wine hints, oak wood, rural funk, moderate tartness, hints of vinegar, hay. A little sharpness towards the finish. Medium body, low carbonation. Nice complexity and balance. Lovely Geuze.
