Blend of 3-, 2-, and 1-Year matured Méthode Traditionnelle Primitive Beers. The 3-Year component of our Cursed Heirloom spent the third year of aging in fresh Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks. This beer showcases flavor characteristics more akin to Sherry-cask aged Scotches than many beers, presenting a big nose of tar, tobacco, leather and burnt raisin with a drying tannic sensation on the tongue. Smoke, overturned earth, and wood linger on the palate, begging for contemplation and an ostentatious smoking jacket. Assertively dry and oaky with restrained carbonation and moderate volatile acidity.

Poured from a lambic basket--the last way I expected to have a beer served at Good Vibes--the light amber body has a slight sheen to it under a short off-white head that dies to a fluid surface.
This is very funky of lactic horse blanket with a grapefruit tartness and a lightly nutty accent from the sherry, though it is a little lighter of body than I'd prefer.

2020 vintage
I have not heard nuch of anything about this brewery, and for a 4 year old brewery it’s pretty odd that they’re already brewing Lambic. Seeing a sherry cask Lambic on Tavour was an instant buy for me, I’m just hoping it was worth the impulse buy. Let’s pop it open and find out
Pours a cloudy deep gold with a finger of white head that quickly fades to a ring and leaves minimal lacing
This is all funk in the nose, rustic and lightly tart. I'm picking up on aromas of sherry, dry oak, raw grain, wet hay, crabapple, lemon custard, tannic white wine, white pepper, and tobacco
If you thought the nose was funky, the taste (specifically the back end) is in another world of funk. On the front end of the sip I'm tasting lemon juice, white wine, sharp oak, wet hay, leather, crabapple, crusty bread, aged hops, light sherry, and white pepper. The swallow brings notes of oxidized sherry, peat smoke, wet hay, tobacco, lemon custard, leather, tannic white wine, crabapple, burnt sugar, sharp oak, and even a touch of bleu cheese
A medium body pairs with moderate carbonation, resulting in a sharp beer. Finishes dry and massively funky
Oh yeah, this is great. The funk is on another level, but not in an unbalanced way

Bubbly and mostly clear dirty blond body with a finger of pearl white foam. Big sherry leads the nose with sour lemon and orange meeting barnyard and barrel funk, with a touch of smoky earth and hay. Taste also has the sherry lead, now the lemon has with white grape, pear, and a simple short lived dark fruit along with wild lambic yeast is more pungent than sour, with that same great funk right there, leaving an aftershock of tobacco, hay, earth, and oak. Feel is pungent, funky, sneaky earthy, barrel is pretty light behind these other factors with a lingering sourness. This was an odd experiment that was actually pretty satisfying
