I know this beer is at least four years old; I picked it up while working in Boise. I did not see any bottle date or know much else. I am using a tulip glass and serving the beer at 42 degrees. The pour created a frothy, creamy, off-white, one-fingered head with fair retention. The somewhat quick dissipation left no lacing on the glass. The beer's color is SRM 28 dark ruby red with mahogany hues and semi-transparent. The overall appearance is average for this style.
Nosing the glass, I smell funky, acidic, light barnyard, dried cherries, and oak. Nosing the glass again, I detect floral esters, port, grass, phenolic, and white pepper. I did notice a light citrus and vinous.
The flavor starts with port wine, wood acid, and citrus. Sipping the beer again, I noticed floral, funkiness, dried cherries, plums, toasted malts, grass, and herbal notes. The barrel aging hits on the backend and needs to be more cohesive with the beer style. I was expecting something else from a Flanders ale.
The mouthfeel is tart and finishes dry. The body is medium and has medium-plus carbonation.
Unfortunately, the flavors of this beer are a letdown. The promising aromas led me to believe this was going to be a sensory delight. However, the barrel aging seems to have done little to enhance the beer. It tastes more like a wine, with prominent oak and sour notes. Overall, this beer didn't quite hit the mark for me. While I didn't detect any off-flavors, the beer's taste was odd and out of place.
