What Our Editors Thought
Complex aroma of chocolate, dark fruit, caramel soaked in sherry, spicy highlights. In the flavor: a soft acidity, with roast carrying into a dry finish but hindering drinkability; sour and burnt components don't mesh. Pleasant overall, if mild.
What Our Panel Thought
Caramel apple, roast chestnuts, aged wood, damp earth, and lemon-lime in the nose. The sip offers soft citrus with perfectly placed caramel that softens the acidic edge. A char bitterness hovers, adding contrast without overpowering the delicate foreground. Remarkably nuanced.
What the Brewers Say
A special run of our iconic sour brown ale, La Folie, in 750mL cork-and-cage bottles.
