This Flanders red style beer was blended from 80% provision strength 'Young' stock beer aged 4 months, along with 20% of most ancient 'Mature' stock beer which has been aged in whisky casks for nearly three years. This combination of very old and young beers has produced a complex sweet and sour flavour profile with a subtle oak character.
This blend was conditioned on whole British grown apricots and plums(approx, 200G/L total) for six weeks, whilst the apricots were destoned by hand, the plums were left whole to breakdown slowly during refermentation. The result is a complex sweet/sour/savory blend with notes of apricot, oaky funk, tart plums, dates and toffee apples.
