(San Marcos, CA) – The Lost Abbey will release Track 4 in the Ultimate Box Set on April 21st. The brewery hasn’t yet formally released any additional details though it did release a video today that gives us a bit of info. Paraphrased from the lips of Port Brewing/Lost Abbey, Quality Assurance Director, Gwen Conley…
This beer is two KTs which has notes of red wine so it is leathery, has vanilla. We cut that with Wine-barrel aged Hot Rocks (barrel(s) contained some mystery Brett). There’s some Cherry that goes with this as well.
So what are KTs? Yeah, I had no idea either…
Per a blog post pertaining to Veritas 009:
Interestingly, Veritas 009 came close to never being made available to the public. Begun as a private project of Arthur’s, the existence of the beer and the details behind it were kept secret until last year. Even after news of the beer leaked to the public Arthur declined to discuss it beyond acknowledging that he did indeed have a barrel-aging project referred to only as “KT”, a reference to the secretive order of the Knights Templar. It wasn’t until a sampling session that Arthur decided to move the beer into Lost Abbey’s public small batch program and release it as Veritas 009.
Look for official details to be posted on The Lost Abbey’s site (and here) soon.
