Flanders Red Ale 11 º

Màger

This Imperial take on a Flanders Red Ale presents a massive sensory profile, amplified by its 11% ABV and three years of total aging. Deep vinous notes from wine barrel maturation intertwine with an intense addition of Maresme strawberries, yielding aromas of balsamic-glazed fruit, red currants, and wild berry preserves. The palate is a sophisticated balance of toasty malt richness and sharp, prickly acidity, reminiscent of a vintage Burgundy. Expect deep layers of oak tannins, soft vanilla, and a lingering, dry finish where the strawberry essence evolves from fresh fruit to a complex, leathery tartness, all supported by a warming, structured body.

Appearance. Deep burgundy with ruby highlights and brilliant clarity. Pours with a thin, fine-beaded, pale tan head that shows moderate retention, leaving a slight collar and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Intensely fruity with dominant notes of ripe strawberries, red currants, and dark cherries. A complex acidic profile offers scents of balsamic vinegar and sharp lactic tang. Deep wine-like character with oak-derived vanilla, light peppery phenols, and a background of toasty malt. No hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression of sharp, puckering acidity quickly followed by a rich, toasty malt depth. Intense strawberry flavors blend with plums and red currants. The barrel aging contributes significant oak tannins and a vinous, red wine quality. Mid-palate reveals subtle vanilla. Bitterness is very low, with acidity providing the primary balance. The finish is long, dry, and warming, with a lingering acetic tang and leathery fruit notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body, significantly weightier than standard examples. Carbonation is moderate and prickly, accentuating the sourness. Noticeable alcohol warmth is well-integrated. Moderate tannin-driven astringency provides a structured, wine-like mouthfeel.
