Tommie Sjef \

This exquisite blend of choice barrels from Tommie Sjef showcases the profound evolution of a Brett Beer aged since 2016. The sensory profile is defined by a sophisticated intersection of rustic funk and delicate fruit. On the nose, aged Brettanomyces delivers notes of leather, wet hay, and a whisper of barnyard, while the extended wood contact imparts soft vanillin and structural oak. A bone-dry finish emphasizes high attenuation, leaving a clean, crisp palate. Subtle impressions of dried apricot and lemon zest linger behind the earthy depth, reflecting a masterfully balanced wild fermentation with remarkable elegance and vinous complexity.

Appearance. Deep gold to amber hues (SRM 7-10) with a slight haze characteristic of unfiltered wild ales. The brilliant white head is creamy but fades relatively quickly to a persistent collar with light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics lead with significant Brettanomyces funk, featuring notes of leather, horse blanket, and earthy soil. Secondary notes of dried stone fruit and aged cider emerge, supported by a distinct toasted oak character and a faint, cracker-like malt base.

Taste. The palate is exceptionally dry and crisp. Initial flavors of rustic funk and damp hay are complemented by a soft, non-lactic tartness. Hop bitterness is very low, allowing the mineral-like quality and wood tannins to provide structure. The finish is long and earthy with a lingering citrus pith aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a very high, prickly carbonation that lifts the beer's complexity. Smooth texture despite the extreme dryness, with no astringency and a very subtle, well-integrated alcohol presence.
