Speling van het Lot I.iii - Nocturne In't Putteke Van De Nacht The Darkest Hour

Description:
Seizoen 1617 Blend 48 • 20/09/2017

Had this one at sheltonfest last year. It was a dark lambic. Color was a dark copper brown. However, upon tasting it, you would have never guessed the color. It tasted like regular gueuze and was enjoyable. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.

Pours a dark brown to black color with a bubbly lacing at the rim of the glass.

Smells strange - has a stout chocolate sweetness with a crisp lemon characteristic underneath, featuring tart, sugared wild berries on top.

Drinks entirely flat with a pungent dryness, resulting from a powerful sourness. Quite thirst quenching though, with lots of lemon flavor overpowering the unusual prominent, sweet malts.

Tastes of a startling interplay of bakers chocolate and funky, dry lemon. Sour and sweet meet for a short clash, with an even more prominent sour taste profile remaining, and just a sweet malt hint prevailing, reminding of the berries from the nose as for a fruit sugar quality. Finishes soft and calm, with a toffee malt sweet note and tingling, sour lemons.

Strange beer for sure, but a well brewed one. Clean and easy drinking with a nice twist, somehow distracting from the traditional strenght of the beer though. Its sourness is still there, strangly subdued, due to the sweet, slightly roasty malts, which on the other hand do produce a pleasant berry flavor.
