The Ale Apothecary Connor (2021)
Other Styles 9.32 º
The Ale Apothecary's rustic house character shines through in this Brett Beer, presenting a complex interplay of wild fermentation and fruit. Expect a deep, vinous profile driven by wine barrel aging and the addition of tart cherries. The high alcohol content is masterfully masked by the attenuation of Brettanomyces, which introduces layers of leather, earthy funk, and ripe stone fruit. Bottle conditioning with honey provides a floral lift and a lively, effervescent texture. This vintage balances the richness of a strong base ale with a dry, wood-influenced finish, characterized by lingering cherry skin and oak tannins.
Appearance. Deep reddish-amber to burnished mahogany with a slight, natural haze. It carries a fine-beaded, off-white to light pinkish head with moderate retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity and deeply layered. Initial notes of funky Brettanomyces provide scents of weathered leather and wet hay, followed by bright, tart cherry and dark stone fruit. Wine barrel aging contributes vinous grape notes and toasted oak, while the honey conditioning adds a subtle, floral wildflower perfume.
Taste. A complex marriage of tart cherries and rustic funk. The palate opens with dark fruit and a mild, non-lactic acidity. Mid-palate reveals earthy Brett character, leather, and a hint of spice. The wine barrels offer woody tannins and a dry, vinous depth. Despite the high alcohol, it finishes remarkably dry and crisp with lingering cherry pit and oak.
Mouthfeel. Medium body that feels lighter than its strength due to high attenuation. Carbonation is high and prickly from honey conditioning. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth provides a sophisticated glow without being hot.
