THE BIG SLEEP was blended intended for Writing Degree Zero, but nature’s writing is here arrested in its dream state. Blended across three barrels aged one to two years, for an average of nineteen months, this blend was bottled without dosage, relying instead on the unreliable: the natural presence of extant yeast and residual sugar. After one year in the bottle, the life within still sleeps, so expect stillness. It may reawaken in months, years, or decades; it may stay sleeping the big sleep.

750 ml, blend 1 bolted 12/6/18, poured into a flute
A- A hazy golden orange with almost no head.
S- Tart, lemons, oak, leather, barnyard funk, some wheat.
T- Tart, lemons, leather, oak, barnyard funk, touch of wheat. Complex and balanced.
M- Smooth, light body, almost no carbonation.
O- A tasty and complex lambic. Only ”off” quality is that even after 3 years it is still flat. Reading the bottle it explains why it might be flat, it relies solo wild yeast/bacteria for the carbonation. Wish I had a few bottles to see what happens with time to this.
