Brauerei Flügge “Otho 2020”
,33cl brown glass bottle coded “Mindestens haltbar bis: 26.11.25. Sampled on 22.09.21
€8,90 @ Naiv, Frankfurt, DE

Notes: Made with Brettanomyces, wine grapes (Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon), and fermented by Daniel Mattern. Cloudy brown body with a purple sheen and orange and amber highlights when held to the light. To a certain extent it actually looks like a glass of wine. The head is off-white but minimal, and disappears almost instantaneously. The aroma is definitely like red wine and grapes, and I’m not finding anything else. The flavor follows with the addition of some grainy and caramelish maltiness, a touch of leather and wet straw, and a flicker of alcohol. There’s a slight acidity to it, a minor bitterness, and a bit of tannic astringency that leads it to a dry finish with red grape lingering for some time. In the mouth it’s medium full in body and spritz with a fine-bubbled carbonation and light acidity. This is a sipping beer, and as such it’s very much like a wine. To take too much into the mouth at one time is to throw it away as you only need a little bit of it for its richness to come through. Additionally, at 9.5% ABV it might be a good idea to take it a little slower anyway. I’d recommend this is an after-dinner beer while relaxing before bed, or maybe even after a meal with some cheese and bread.
