Common descriptors are
This is exquisite ale made with a blend of wild and domestic yeast strains. Brewed two years ago, 3/4 of this beer spent eleven months of it’s life in neutral Pinot Noir French Oak barrels. It was then re-blended with the remainder of the original Flanders Red that had been cellaring since it’s conception. After going through a secondary fermentation, we cellared it again for the last eight months. This Belgian beer is extremely smooth with a fruity nose that will leave no senses untouched. This will be available in limited, one liter bottles and on draft at Roots Organic Brewery exclusively. At 9.2% ABV, the brown-amber bodied puckerer is available in one-of-a-kind 750ML bottles for $25 a pop. and features the artwork by Ezra Johnson-Greenough, who also designed the Epic labels over the last two season. The official release party for the Red will take place at Roots Brewpub on Wednesday January 14. 2009.
