Richmond Gathering. Capped and corked 750, #993 of 1042, 1996 vintage. Thanks to Per for sending this my way! Murky gold with no head. Excellent nose - Sweet, tart, barnyardy - wet wood, sweat, wet hay, lemon - WOW! Lots going on here! Flavor is all of the above, and DRY. Sour and fleshy fruits add to the mix. Wisps of carbonation. Awesome. Who do I have to shoot to get more of this???

750ml bottle, De Heeren van Lindekerke
Clear amber honey colored body. Really nose nose of soft honey malt and an aged character consisting of dusty, earthy sourness. Fruity and sweet up front, low carbonation, but holding up well with age. Dusty, musty flavor, does not have an intense sourness or pucker factor, but still quite acidic yet remaining somewhat soft on the palate. Light honey and apple pie finish. A nice gem.
