Six years… a lot to ponder and a beer to ponder over. Albus Quercus, or white oak, is our ode to the city that has raised us to brewing glory. A Belgian-inspired farmhouse ale that spent 3 months in Chardonnay barrels before being bottle conditioned. Vibrant melon, grape, pineapple and a cornucopia of spice aromatics meld together and reveal a dry, minerally, effervescent body. The finish is long and equally dry with a ballanced bitterness from the finest European hops.

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

    750 ml bottle. Pours very hazy dark gold with a monstrous bubbly white head that retains well and laces the glass.

    The aroma is musty Belgian yeast with some banana and cracker malts and some vinous grape.

    The flavor is sweet bready malts, peppery spices and some grapes with quite a bit of vanilla and some vinous alcohol. It becomes more wine-like and less vanilla as it warms. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly sharp carbonation.

    Overall, it's decent but not really my thing.
