Sherry barrel Geuze
In the spring of 2019, we received a series of very old Oloroso, PX and Amontillado barrels through a local Jerez cooperage. The aromas were a mix of typical fine sherry notes and toasted, peated characteristics, which we have never experienced before. However, after a year of bottle conditioning – because of the higher peated aromas, albeit balanced – we decided to release this bottle not as a Zenne y Frontera, but as a peated geuze. This blend, like blend 62, comes mostly from Oloroso barrels. The weighted average age of this blend, upon its release, is almost three years old. The oldest lambik was brewed in April 2018.

Bottle. Bit hazy golden. Funky, smoke, peat, sulphur, wheat, soft alcohol, ash, oak. No idea why the abv are s so high and if the smoke is from sulphur like I suspect or from real peat (how). It’s actually OK.

Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Scent is full, tad fruity, somehow. Mild on the funk and oak. Taste is full, mild smoke, medium sour. Low on the funk, more on the peaty side than B62.
Hapu, puuviljane, tsitrus, alks, puidune, veits suitsune, kuiv. Väga hea.
Small taste. Very nice combination of flavours going on here, firstly of course the regular OG, nice and funky, some acidity, minerals and stuff. Then sweet sherry, adding lots of flavours. Peat is very subtle. Fun.
