Les Intenables - Craft Beer -

This Wild Specialty Beer presents an indulgent fusion of tart fruit and bakery-inspired sweetness. Dominated by a vibrant cassis profile, the sensory experience opens with an intense jammy blackcurrant character, supported by a rich, doughy malt backbone reminiscent of fresh-baked muffins. The wild fermentation introduces a clean, lactic acidity that cuts through the pastry-like richness, while hints of dark berry skins provide depth. It strikes a precise balance between the sharpness of the fruit and the comforting, bready textures of a dessert ale, finishing with a lingering, sweet-tart fruit compote impression that remains balanced despite its decadence.

Appearance. A deep ruby to royal purple hue with significant hazy opacity. It is crowned by a dense, pink-tinted foam head that displays moderate retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of ripe blackcurrant and concentrated berry jam. A prominent bready, cake-like malt sweetness provides a distinct muffin character, complemented by a soft lactic tang and subtle hints of vanilla-like esters.

Taste. The initial impression is a burst of tart cassis and jammy fruit flavors. The mid-palate features a medium-sweet, doughy malt profile that softens the acidity. Bitterness is virtually non-existent, allowing the interplay between fruit tartness and pastry sweetness to dominate. The finish is long, clean, and intensely fruity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture consistent with the pastry style. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to prevent the residual sweetness from becoming cloying. Exhibits very low alcohol warmth.
