Commercial Description:
Aged in an old Cabernet Sauvingon barrel, this wild, Imperial red ale has a strikingly complex aroma and palette filled with rich red fruits, loads of hops, and that good old sour barrel funk we all love. Dry hopped in the barrel with 3 pounds of Amarillo hops, this INTENSE elixir is the definition of extreme...and a wee bit devilish!

Bottle. Light to moderate malt and hop notes of straw, cereal and flowers, heavy aromas of soap and musty for the yeast with big background notes of red wine, vinegar and wood. Head is small, fizzy, slightly off-white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is murky orange/tan. Flavor starts faintly sweet and heavily acidic then the extra long finish is moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, watery, with a fizzy carbonation and has a astringent and heavily dry finish. A huge bite to this Sour Ale. Still not my style but I did like it and appreciate the craftsmanship. Thanks for the sample Hopscotch.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Sean9689. Pours a cloudy amber with basically no head. Very lactic, acidic aroma. Medium body, tart citric with distinct woody accents. Very dry and astringent Bretty accents making this end leathery dry. Quite challenging - but interesting. 231109

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has strong notes of lemon as well as notes of wood and grapes. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of lemon peal, brettanoymyces, and acetone, as well as medium notes of wood and other fruits, leading to a dry tart finish. Thanks KimJohansen for this beer and DanskeBank for participating.
