Abbaye De Saint Bon-Chien Grand Cru (Aged In Trousseau Barrels)
TR5 served in a 16 oz. tulip. A- Dark amber, almost light brown color with nearly no head. Thin layer of tiny bubbles line the surface of the beer at the glass edge. S- Some vinegar sour notes, oak, vinous, very earthy. T- Whoa! Very different from other sours and lambics I have had. Sour/vinegar, vinous alcohol, dirt, oak. a lot going on in this beer. M- Medium/thin feel which is very surprising for a 11 % beer. Fairly smooth with a little oily feel in there. Again, drinks very well for the abv. O- Very different from almost anything I have had before. Have not had a ton of sours or lambics, but like the complexity of this beer.
