Copenhagen 2/5 2026. 37,5 cl waxed bottle from Mad & Vin, Magasin, Kbh. K. A statue of Dionysos and Lois Corvos pretty cool logo with two interwoven crows on the label.

Pours unclear, golden yellow with a small white head. Bubbly. Disappears after 10 seconds leaving no trace of foam. No lacing.

Aroma is fairly items with a sharp and tart odor mingling with a wooden, funky scent. Citrus and tart gooseberries. Light touch of vinegar. Sour cheese and a hint of white wine.

Medium strong carbonation. Thin, oily, soft yet lively and tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a light sweetness followed by a quite strong tart sourness. Aftertaste is sour with a sweet undertone. Lingers for a bit. Finish is quite dry.

Fresh and tart with a nice touch of barrel-

Notes via stream of consciousness: "Made with Antão Vaz white wine grape must from Alentejo and aged for 12 months in oak barrels." It's poured a cloudy golden body beneath a very short head of white foam that dissipates almost immediately. The aroma is very much like a crushed white grapes smeared across wet oak. There's some mineral character, some sugary sweetness, white grape juice, tart apple, pear, and oak. It's clean and welcoming. On to the taste, I was expecting it to be tart but it's not. There's a little bit of acidity, yes, but no more than a whole lot of beers. Similar to their Bachus this is brewed with brettanomyces bruxellensis but it's not nearly as sour, nor as intense in character, and then unlike their Bachus it's aged in oak barrels which I think rounds it off a little bit. The taste is sweet upfront combining a sweetish and bready malt with white grape, lots of apple and a hint of pear, and then becoming more vinous and 'Bretty' across the middle. There's some wet straw, grassiness, soft leather, horse blanket, and a hint of something metallic. It's really quite vinous but there's still enough barley to keep it from crossing over. It's moderately bitter and surprisingly just mostly-dry in the finish whereas their Bachus is quite dry. The combination of fruitiness, vinous character, brettanomyces, and malt is fantastic. In the mouth it'd medium bodied on the upper end, and gently crisp with a moderate and seemingly natural carbonation. I could drink a lot of this and yet it's not that kind of beer at all ~ this needs to be savored. Fantastic!
