On April 11, 2016, Team BeerAdvocate ventured to Portland, Maine, to blend the official Return of the Belgian Beer Fest beer at Allagash Brewing Company. After pulling samples from several oak and stainless steel tanks and experimenting with different combinations, we ended up with two blends (Papier Doré & Porte Noir), a light and a dark, to represent two sides of the sour flavor experience—and because we just couldn’t pick a favorite.
Porte Noir
French for “black door,” this beer shares a name with La Porte Noire, a cavernous Celtic bar in Brussels. This blend started with a yet-to-be named darker foeder beer, then additions of Nancy, a red sour fermented with Maine cherries and Brettanomyces, and some 7-year-old oak barrel-aged beer for complexity.
