Le Petit Diablotin
American Sour Released
We have been aging this treat for 3 years in red wine
barrels and now it has been bottled and it is heading
to a craft beer store hopefully near you. Brewed and put into
barrels in June of 2011 at Drakes Brewing. We have blended
these 3 year aged barrels with other sours barrels that
were aged 2 years and some"younger" 1 year old barrels.
A healthy mix of Brettanomyces, Pediococcus and Lactobacillus
was added into the barrels and nature was allowed to takes
its course. Some of the pomegranate and cherry notes have faded
but a complex melange of wood and fruit notes still
dominate the finish. Somewhat "Gueuze-like" in its flavors and
presentation. A total of 2400 375ml bottles were produced
along with nine 5 gal kegs. Don't wait around for this one to
come to you, get it now and enjoy for many years to come.
