Small Gods' Wired Desperate Glory is a captivating Sour Flemish Ale Flanders Red Oud Bruin that takes you on a journey through flavors. Inspired by the poignant imagery of Flanders Fields, this 8.0% ABV brew is a harmonious blend of a rich and complex Belgian amber ale, with notes of dates, brown sugar, and sweet spice, which has been meticulously aged in bourbon barrels. This process has imbued the beer with a delightful oakiness and vanilla character, complemented by a tantalizing funky tartness. The brewers have skillfully incorporated Chinese Keemun tea, adding a delicate floral essence with hints of tobacco and unsweetened cocoa. This beer is a testament to the brewer's artistry, capturing the essence of the "desperate glory" evoked in Wilfred Owen's renowned poem.
