In Greek mythology, Endymion was an astronomer who Pliney the Elder (the man, not the beer) credits as the first human to observe the movements of the moon. As the lover and companion of Selene, the goddess of the moon. Endymion was granted eternal sleep as to never age or die. In the same spirit we have created this wild ale, made from a pseudo-Solera process in which a barrel is never completely emptied, but rather topped off with fresh base beer whenever aged beer is extracted. While constantly evolving, the resulting blend is one that is granted in its own eternal sleep so it may live forever.

Smells good - malty, cherry pie/Bretty/earthy, only lightly vinegary, somewhat oxidative which works just fine, with some well integrated oak barrel. On the palate, nice tart-malty balance, slightly vinegary but not overly so (just like the aroma), with some nice general complexity, and just plain tasty. Seems to be aging gracefully (2014 bottle).

Tannic, red wine, earthy, sour, tart, fruity and oaky. Think dark berries. Delicious, dark, balanced and extremely drinkable. It's a fine Texas beer.

Thanks to mrbubbler for sharing this one at his tasting.

2014 vintage.

Pours a murky orange-brown with a foamy beige head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is sour with grain, fruit, wine, and wood aromas. Taste is much the same with sour fruit, wine, and wood flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with tasty sour wine barrel aged qualities all around.

Serving type: bottle.
