A Flanders Red aged for 18 months in Cognac barrels.
A: Pours a dark crimson red color. A dense and rocky beige head forms with excellent retention and plenty of lace when it finally recedes.
S: A big aroma billowing out of the glass. Black cherries, grapes, cinnamon spice even. A toasted malty character balances out the fruitiness. This is great.
T: Oh yeah, black cherries and grapes. Tart and acidic, becomes just a touch vinegary. Allspice, cinnamon, sweetness, toasted and bready malts. A lingering acidity. Complex, but balanced at the same time. Love this.
M/O: A medium to full body. Moderate carbonation that smooths out. A chewy and sticky body. A very nice sipper. I will finish the bottle with ease, though the vinegar and acidity does build throughout and becomes puckering. That makes this more of a once in a while type offering, but still very enjoyable.
A style that not very many American breweries try to tackle. I'm glad True Anomaly did, because most local breweries wouldn't put the time and effort to get it right. This isn't a real knock, but the acidity does take over after a while, which makes it more a sipper. But very well done for the style, and highly recommended.
