Nocturne is a always blend of 3 Fonteinen brewed dark full malt beers with traditional lambic. It is spontaneously fermented and matured in oak barrels, before seeing extended bottle ageing. It is unfiltered and unpasteurised.
This (dark) Nocturne is a spontaneously fermented full malt beer. It is not your typical lambik beer, but their take on a Vlaams Oud Bruin. The beer was brewed with five different barley malts, from pilsner malt to dark roasted malts, and no wheat whatsoever.
This batch was brewed in March 2018 with more dark chocolate malt, and put on barrels for four years before it was blended with a small portion of freshly brewed Nocturne. The weighted average age of this beer upon bottling is 45 months.
