Bottle (750ml) from Brooklyn Rep Rich, Many thanks!! Golden pour with some apple juice mixed in. Pretty flat. no pop on opening caged & corked. Sweet apple, grapes. Sweet reisling really takes over the beer. Interesting beer that may have lost some life to it. Awesome score, thanks again
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap @ BBF:NOTF. Nose has a big woody & clay-like character with a solid booze hit. I was never the hugest fan of the aroma of Local 1 and this didn’t do too much to improve upon it. Flavor is booze, clay, earthy funk. Its a lot to take in.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle at The Diamond during the Brooklyn Ghost Bottles event. Pours clear gold with a very faint, filmy head. Tart, white grapes in the nose, sugar, brett, slight butter. Medium sweet flavor, some harsh alcohol, some juicy grapes, a bit of white sugar. Full bodied, vinous with fine carbonation. Big heat to finish, some caramel and sugar, a further vinous character. Really a bit too warming for me. Does dry out very well at the end and the complexity is great.

The aroma is fruit, boozy, grapes. The appearance is a hazy orange, tiny white head. The flavor is booze, fruit, caramel, bread - excellent. The finish is piney hops, booze warming. Medium in body. Awesome.
