The Ale Apothecary Be Still
Other Styles 8.4 º
This sophisticated Brett Beer showcases a rustic complexity driven by The Ale Apothecary's signature mixed fermentation. Aromas of earthy cocoa nibs and leathery funk intertwine with the unique, sun-dried cherry and tobacco notes of cascara. The palate reveals layers of spicy rye whiskey and vinous red wine from extended barrel aging, balanced by a subtle, woody astringency. Despite its strength, the Brettanomyces ensures a dry, highly attenuated finish that highlights nuances of dark stone fruit and aged oak. It is a masterful tapestry of fermentation and wood, offering a lingering, complex aftertaste of dried fruit and spicy spirit.
Appearance. Deep amber to mahogany with a slight, persistent haze. A thin, tan-colored head with moderate retention and light lacing, typical for high-ABV barrel-aged wild ales.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex bouquet of leathery funk, wet hay, and earthy cocoa. Distinctive notes of dried hibiscus and cherry from the cascara meld with spicy rye grain and a soft, vinous oak character. Esters of plum and apricot are present.
Taste. Initial flavors of dark, bitter chocolate and tart dried fruit lead into a mid-palate of spicy oak and peppery rye. The Brett character provides a savory, earthy depth without being overtly sour. Bitterness is low, allowing the barrel tannins and cascara acidity to provide structure. The finish is remarkably dry and lingering with a touch of spirituous warmth.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a crispness resulting from high attenuation. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle prickle on the tongue. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth and a slight tannic dryness from the wine barrels.
