Duchesse de Bourgogne

[carnevoodoo]

Sadly, I have not found Consecration yet. I only get these at beer fests or the random find or opportunity. I have had Beautification twice but none of the others.

Just FYI, it is Beatification, not beautification.

Beatification check.

I failed on my mission last night... no Duchesse at my beer store. damn.

Oh well I came home with this:

Enigma for New Glarus Brewing

"Some people paint, some sing, others write ... I brew." - Daniel Carey

A few times a year, we will cut Dan loose to brew whatever he chooses, uncensored, uncut, unplugged. Always handcrafted, this beer is brewed for the adventurous soul. This is a very limited edition and we make no promises to ever brew this style again.

A complex and intriguing original. The mystery began with wild yeast spontaneously fermenting a rich treasure of malted barley and cherries. Unlined Oak casks breathe deep vanilla hues and chords of smoke into this sour brown ale. Our Master Brewer has forged a smooth garnet tapestry that defies description. Wander off the beaten path.

Style Sour Brown Ale
Flavor Defies description.
Alcohol 5.5% by volume
Available in 4-packs and cases

They released this a couple years ago and I remembered it being pretty good so I picked up a four pack. It is a nice and funky beer. The cherries and New Glarus' wild culture makes for a strange sour beer with a very smooth mouthfeel.

Perhaps we could set up a trade for some West-to-Midwest swapping???

I also hooked a four pack of 2009 Samiclause and a Fantome Saison. :rockin:
