Once upon a time it was the most award winning Pizza Port beer of all time. Now it has found a new home at The Lost Abbey.

A massive brown ale base that is made from four fermentable sugars including Malted Barley, Raisins, Candi Sugar and Sour Cherries, this beer is fully fermented before being placed in Bourbon barrels where the beer ages for one year with the Sour Cherries and the wild Brettanomyces yeast that we inoculate the barrels with.

One of the most complex and unique beers we make each year.

19th January 2022, taster in The Church, San Diego. Came in a lovely glass. One of three Barrel Aged beers they had on from Lost Abbey, I had them all. Dark and lovely, cherries, raisins and sweetness abound in this cracking beer.

2008 bottle from Schroppfy, thanks! Reddish dark brown color. Oak, malt, dark chocolate and cherries in the aroma. Odd mix of tartness, dark chocolate, the finest of cherry bonbons, licorice, oak and cherry liquor in the flavor. Very complex, strong and tart. Not a sign of the promised 11% ABV, excpt in the warming finish, but strong and powerful. And deceptively drinkable. World class beer. 2009 bottle, tasted @ UDRB, Oirschot. Malt, toffee and cherry in the aroma. Brett, lemon, chocolate and cherry in the flavor. Once again not a sign of the 11% alcohol. Lemon, cherry an brett in the aftertaste. Bitter almonds. lovely!
