During a trip to Italy to factory test bottling equipment for the brewery, our Master Brewer discovered an exquisite 14 year old balsamic vinegar in Modena, a region renowned for the world's best.
This beer was aged for twenty months in red wine barrels, undergoing a very complex fermentation process to create a moderately sour, wine-like ale with a unique red fruit aroma and taste derived from added balsamic vinegar. Brewed in our celebration of Phil's 25th year of professional craft brewing.

750ml corked and caged bottle #131. Poured into a wine glass, the brew appears a muddy brown color with khaki head that fades leaving stringy lace.
This smells like sour cherry, toasty bready grain mixed with sulfur, cheese and deep toasty oak.
This tastes tart and fruity with mild oakiness that dries out the finish. It is somewhat acedic but not overly so...if that makes any sense? A good blend of tart, fruity, malty and oaked.
This is medium to light bodied with modest carbonation. A very interesting brew that I enjoyed more than I anticipated. Would drink again.

Dull and muddled. A weird astringency thing going on. Really disappointing.
