Tap to rate

Dried herbs and spice mark this earthy, rustic Bordeaux barrel wild ale at 7% ABV, with barrel-aged depth and only a little acidity. It comes from Zomerdijk Brewing & Blending, the wild ale project of the Moersleutel brothers, and is dedicated to Joppe Min, a beloved cousin of the Zomerdijk brothers. Moersleutel says it pairs with cheese and long stories.

The aromatic profile is understated and layered rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate enters dry and herbal, with earthy mineral notes and gentle spice riding across the mid-palate. Barrel-aged oak provides structural depth without dominance, while mild acidity and funky wild yeast character remain restrained and integrated. Bitterness is nearly absent (10 IBU), allowing the rustic herb and spice profile to command attention.
