Sparkling Infused Lapsang Souchong Lambiek
Brouwerij Oud Beersel

A 750ml corked and caged bottle, with a best before date of 24th September 2030. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.

Appearance: A lightly hazy golden orange colour with an almost two finger white head that had pretty good retention and left some nice lacing.

Aroma: Smoky and leather dominate, almost peaty, a touch dusty, funky, with notes of pine, apple and lemon zest.

Taste: Sour, tart, lemon, pine needles, tea, sweet notes, honey, herbal, smoke, peat, leather, funk and wood.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with high spritzy carbonation.

Overall: First impressions was that it was a strange combination, unique for sure. However, it definitely grew on me over time, and the aroma and flavours became interesting and thought provoking.
