Brekeriet

This complex Brett Beer from Brekeriet’s Vild series showcases a masterfully integrated blend of wild fermentation and fruit. Aged for 20 months in red wine barrels, it presents a deep, vinous character defined by the intense addition of Danish sour cherries. The Brettanomyces yeast provides a rustic backbone of leather and earthy funk that balances the bright, tart acidity of the Stevns cherries. Expect a sophisticated interplay between oak tannins, dark fruit skin, and a bone-dry finish. The extended maturation creates a layered sensory profile where the bold fruit character evolves into a delicate, funk-forward elegance typical of a well-aged wild ale.

Appearance. Deep garnet to ruby red with a slight haziness from the fruit addition. Pours with a moderate, pink-tinted off-white head that shows fair retention and leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with a prominent funk including notes of wet hay, leather, and barnyard. These are layered over a rich, tart Danish sour cherry profile and vinous red wine notes. Subtle oak vanillin and a hint of stone fruit pits are present.

Taste. The initial impression is a sharp but refined tartness from the cherries, followed by a complex Brett character featuring earthy and spicy notes. Malt is low, providing just a touch of cracker-like support. Red wine barrel aging contributes dry tannins and dark berry flavors. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, with a lingering cherry skin aftertaste. Bitterness is low, allowing the fruit and fermentation acids to lead.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a crisp, highly attenuated texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a prickly sensation. A gentle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, accompanied by a light tannic astringency from the oak.
