Lost Abbey Veritas 003

Formerly brewed at Port Brewing/Lost Abbey
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
San Marcos, California USA

Bottled. A murky dark amber beer with a thick lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, brettanomyces, wood, and fungy horseblanket. The flavor is sweet and acidic with strong notes of fruit, and medium notes of brettanomyces and wood, leading to a tart finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of WeeHeavySD. Pours a very cloudy amber golden with a dense and creamy beige head that leaves a pretty lacework. Tart and fruity Brettish nose. Medium body, light berry-like notes, lots of wood and an astringent sourish finish. A very sophisticated brew indeed. 190608

Reddish-brown colour with a thick head. Winey, woody nose with roast and lots of dark fruit. Very fizzy but very rich with dark fruits. Almost meaty. Very oaky, vinous and complex. Takes a while to absorb.

Hazy brown with medium beige head. Sweet and sour aroma with caramel, roasted malt, wood and berries. Flavor is sour with roasted malt, caramel, wood and berries. Ends sour. Lovely!
