Crux [Banished] Freakcake Barrel-Aged Oud Bruin Ale
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
We've taught an old brown new tricks. The brunette hue is derived from roasted Belgian aromatic malts, and fruity esters are augmented by lemon and orange zest. For a further twist, Brettanomyces induced secondary fermentation flecked with sour cherries, raisins, cranberries, figs, dates, and currants for a mildly acidic ale. Enjoy this gift now, or for even freakier, age it somewhere dark for the ultimate re-gift.

Agh. Not my favorite. Definitely more on the barnyard funk side than sour, with a plummy sweet alcoholic quality maybe playing a bit too prominent a role.

Wow! There's a lot going on in this beer. A complex, but amazing, assemblage of flavors. (Cherries, dried raisins, caramel, coffee, chocolate) Quite tart, it has a little bit of a red wine feel. Ends on a short lived and pleasing bitterness.
