Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA May 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy brune body with an off white head. Funky chewy cherry pit, skins pulp and a light woodiness. Lots of cuvee de tomme? A very nice sour ale. BrianK (190), Livingston, New Jersey, USA May 24, 2009 Shared by YGTBSM94. Pours a dark brownish color. Predominant flavor or cherries with a light tartness. Very easy drinker. Nothing over the top here. rallison (113), USA Mar 30, 2009 Bottle. Sea O’Floydster epic tasting, post PP Belgian Fest. Thanks Julian for bringing this bottle.
Apple, cider, cinnamon (this was likened appropriately to cinnamon apple pie)..fruity notes. A bit of funk and a bit of vinous qualities.
High carbonation and light on the tongue.
Interesting, not what I was expecting, but also not overly impressed, especially given the rarity.
hrking (108), Muncie, Indiana, USA Mar 30, 2009 Thanks Julian for bringing this in to share.Had this in Carlsbad at the Pizza Port Belgianfest after fest tasting with floydster and seaoflament and rallison. Wow this beer was so carboniated and had a seltzer tingle on your tongue when you drank it. I would say champange or austi spumanti.Flavors of sweet Cinnamon applesauce like Motts. Alcohol was vertually non present for 8 percent.This was a very surprising incredible flavor that was a real treat.One of the better beer I have ever had. Carbonation was over the top and was a true gusher when it was opened. Thanks again for the share and the chance to enjoy this true treat of a beer! ggaughan (94), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Luxembourg Mar 1, 2009 The beer poured a deep redish/brown color with a slight but tanish/red right around the glass. The nose was complex with a tart aroma complimented by a wine grape feel, maybe cherry on the nose as well. The taste was tart, a bit funky and definitely had some vinous qualities to it. As I let it sit a little longer it warmed and brought out some dried fruit and even a bit of grapefruit on the tongue. All this making for a somewhat full bodied beer that was just enjoyable. hapjydeuce (763), Del Mar, California, USA Feb 3, 2009 Bottle shared with jarspag and Maheu during the January ski trip to Mammoth. Huge thanks Maheu for bringing this ultra-rare Lost Abbey specialty! Never thought I was going to have the chance to try Veritas 001. We had been talking about this one for a while. Pours a cloudy ruby brown color with no carbonation or head. Divine aroma of red wine, oak and yeast biscuit. Very similar to Cuvee de Tomme. Tart berry flavors blend well with cherry and more oak wood. Finishes a bit dry with tones of cellar must. It definitely shares a lot with Red Poppy and Cuvee. Very well rounded overall. Complex and a killer palate. Thanks again Mike, I only wish we had more. jarspag (593), Los Angeles, California, USA Feb 3, 2009 Bottle w/ Maheu and Justin in Mammoth. Thanks Mike for the super rarity, you are rad. Really only one thing comes to mind, Cuvee Lite. It’s awesome, don’t get me wrong, but it seems like it shares too many qualities, in a smaller fashion. Complex as can be, quite sour w/ some cherry and oak throughout. This will be good down the road... good luck finding one, sigh. kiefdog (1500), Tampa, Florida, USA Jan 11, 2009 Courtesy of Ibrew2or3. Thanks, Dave. This was a magnificent treat. Bottle 69. Pours a dark hazy cola brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma is tart with notes of dark cherries, sugar plums, vinegar, brett, wood, some hints of toffee and barnyard funk. Flavor is sweet and tart with predominant notes of vanilla, wood, nuts, spice, sweet dark cherries, ripe dark fruit. Generally medium bodied with a pleasing tart finish. Amazing.
