First off, apologies for my lack of posts lately. I've tried several things in the past few weeks so look out for some new posts in the coming weeks.
Goose Island Madame Rose-2012 edition. Flanders Oud Bruin style. Chicago, IL. 7.1% ABV.
Served chilled from a 22oz bomber and poured into a red wine glass. Pours a reddish brown color with absolutely no head. Smells are of cherries, and a ton of yeast in this. The nose is also very tart, but not reminiscent of an American-style sour. It seems like an aged Belgian Trappist Ale with cherries and other fruits added. Carbonation is light with a light-medium body. Taste is like the smell. Tart and puckering, much more so than the time I had it on tap.
I love this beer, and was thrilled to find a bottle of the 2012 edition. Check out my previous review from June 8th below: I think you will find the results were similar. It aged quite well, and my taste buds were not affected by anything else. The time I had it before I had a Bourbon County Coffee right before, so the sour was a HUGE contrast. This time it was much more subtle, and it was a totally different tasting experience. I think I will rate it very similar, perhaps a tad higher.
