Batch #16. 2012. Bottle #5335. Poured into Duchesse goblets.
Red-brown with red-orange hues. Aerating on the pour, a collection of large bubbles still remain, on the surface, by the hundreds.
Acetic aromas permeate through noted of oak, golden raspberry, currant, lemony tartness, and wet haystacks. Thinly fruity, but nicely funky. I'm excited to find out how sour this might be.
Very oaky and decently sour. Currants, tart raspberry, and moldy lemon. Lots of woodiness, in fact, so much that the base beer might not hold its own in terms of fruitiness or malty sweetness. While I love the wild funky notes typical of American sours, this Flanders Red is missing the cherry balsamic umami of a Rodenbach or the gooey vanilla of a Duchesse. A very light cherry note is at work here, but it's very tart. The thinness of the body really reveals what there is and isn't in this beer. Still damn tasty.
Panil Barrique is a nice Flemish Red that crosses over into American Wild Ale territory. It has great sourness for the style, although it's not as sturdy as you might hope. Finishes cleaner and shorter. Actually, very refreshing.

A Rare Beer Club offer. Pours a reddish brown color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma of dark fruits. Taste is slightly sour but mostly dry. Not sweet but very smooth. Enjoyed it.

750 ml bottle served cold-ish into a pint glass. LCBO purchase for $16 CDN. Bottling date appears to be sometime in November 2017.
Appearance - Mildly hazy dark red with brownish hues. A finger plus of off-white head is poured, good staying power and lots of lacing left behind.
Smell - Complex is where it begins. Balsamic and cranberry are most prominent, there is also a distinctive musty aroma to the beer. Possibly some wood and a faint bit of cherry sweetness at the end. How the mustiness, wood and balsamic play together is tough to decipher, having limited experience with those three aromas working together.
Taste - Initially balsamic then tartness, possibly rhubarb and cranebrries and wood mixed in. Goes musty in the flavor too which doesn't quite work for me but it adds complexity. Finishes with cranberries and more wood although it is subtle. Some lemon in the close as well. Complex, but the mustiness doesn't make this something I'd enjoy on a regular basis. Booze is seamlessly integrated. I think there's an element of raspberry in here too.
Mouthfeel - Medium body, even to the point of being watery with lower carbonation and a drying finish. Refreshing as far as 8% ABV sours go.
Overall - Panil Barriquee Sour is certainly a complex beer with a lot of disparate flavors and aromas coming together for a fairly well integrated brew. The booze is seamlessly hidden too. I'm not a big fan of the mustiness, bit for something with this level of complexity, it comes together quite nicely and that in itself should be acknowledged. Worth a try and probably worth a share with a couple of buds who like sour beers too.
