Oud Beersel Oude Gueze Vielle
“Fantastic start to finish. Leads with a beautiful nose with hints of black pepper and peach. Lots of interesting funk and fruit, along with a moderate lactic sourness. Layers of fermentation complexity without overly weird rough edges. Tart cherry and lemon, with some notes of papaya and guava. The funk skews toward wet hay with some light leather lingering in the finish. The base beer is still there to provide a soft grainy backdrop, and the finish has a soft tartness that accentuates the farmhouse character through the swallow. Incredible, an amazing beer.”
