Commercial Description:
The beer you are about to enjoy started it’s 21 months of barrel aging with Brettanomyces bruxellensis in the spring of 2005. This combination of wood and yeast is largely responsible for the je ne sais quoi of many Belgian beers. Our 10th Anniversary Barrel Reserve’s lengthy aging has resulted in a mahogany colored ale with a distictive Brettanomyces nose, assented with oak from new American oak barrels. Hints of vanilla and sherry-like notes make this beer one to savor. As it warms in the glass, its layers of complexity are further revealed. We hope you enjoy this fine beer. Cheers!

This bottled brew from a DLD beer festival poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized brown colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a and an excellent lacing. The aroma was malty vinous woody and yeasty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of vinous sour lambic like and tart. A decent one that I would consider having again.

Pours with good carbonation and some lacing. Smells of wine barrel and spice. Taste includes vanilla and more wine and bourbon barrel characteristic. The wild yeasts are well integrated into the overall flavor. Mouthfeel is full bodied but kept light due to the impressive carbonation. Fantastic!

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Miver. Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, beige head. Intense aroma of Brett and bourbon. Medium body, woody accents, a little caramel, plenty of bourbon and a dry, slightly astringent, sulphurous and tart finish. Really delicious. 010509

4/25/2009: Mueller 10th Anniversary has a messy brown color, a sour-ish aroma, and a sweet, malty, white grape flavor. Interesting blend of characteristics...

Sample at Dark Lord Day 2009; shared by Skyview. Thanks! Rating #58 for this beer.
