Originally bottled in 2018 this blend of mixed ferment oak barrels infused with rhubarb and strawberry was tucked away to condition and mellow. What happened next? Was it lost, was it misplaced or did it simply slip from our minds? ‘Rediscovered’ five years later, like a well aged wine the beer is transformed with the glow of French polished teak, mellow fruit and delightful sherry like complexity. Enjoy now or ‘misplace’ it for the future.

A 750ml bottle, packed on 20th September 2018 (but as per the description, seems only released in 2023). Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A clear golden colour with a half finger white head that had pretty good retention, and eventually settled to a ring around the glass, while leaving some nice lacing.
Aroma: Tart, jammy, rhubarb, strawberry.
Taste: Sour, tart, sweet, jammy, strawberry, rhubarb, with a dash of lemon.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: The strawberry and rhubarb was a good combination, and the aroma was especially enjoyable here. Carbonation was a touch strong, but doesn’t detract from it too much.
