Caractère Rouge
Caractère Rouge is a strong, oak-aged Flemish red ale finished with a natural addition of red fruit. It pours a deep ruby-red under a firm pink-tinged head. The nose brings ripe cherry, redcurrant and a whisper of oak, over a caramel malt base. The palate is complex and vinous, with tart red berry, sweet cherry and a warming alcohol note, before oak, light spice and a firm sourness carry the finish long and dry.
