Tommie Sjef

Silhouet is a masterful fusion of time and tradition, blending rustic saison with wild ales aged up to five years in oak. This Brett Beer exhibits a deep, multi-layered profile driven by its diverse fermentation history and the use of five-year-aged Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops. Aromas of poached peaches and tart cherry pie are grounded by earthy barnyard funk and cracked black pepper. On the palate, a refined oak tannin structure supports flavors of apple skin and bright stone fruit. This complex blend remains remarkably drinkable, balancing aged wild character with the vibrant, spicy lift of a classic rustic saison.

Appearance. Deep gold with amber highlights (8–10 SRM); dense, off-white head with persistent lacing; slight haze typical of long-term wild maturation.

Aroma. High intensity; complex bouquet of poached peaches and cherry pie; rustic funk manifesting as hay and wet wool; subtle floral and earthy notes from aged Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops; distinct black pepper phenols and toasted oak.

Taste. Dry and complex; initial flavors of tart apple skin and stone fruit; low cracker-like malt presence; delicate herbal hop flavor; moderate Brett character providing earthy depth without harshness; low bitterness; clean, lingering finish with spicy yeast esters and soft wood tannins.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with high attenuation; moderate-high carbonation provides a lively, effervescent texture; noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth; slight tannic grip from extended oak aging.
