22 fl oz bottle. Pours murky brown with a lacing white head. Fruity and acidic aroma. Acidic and fruity flavour. Mild caramel malty base yet distinct brett and fruity. Acidic to citgric finish. Nice fruity and light wooden finish.

(750ml bottle) Pours a hazy ruby-purple body with a small violet tinged head. Aroma of blueberries, mustiness, blackberries, earthiness, some vanilla, and brett. Flavor of blueberries, earthiness, vinous, and blackberries with fizzy carbonation and a dry finish.

(75cl bottle, thanks CaptainCougar) Large Pink head atop cloudy red-pink body. Aroma is medium sweet, berry, yeast, musty. Taste is minimal sweet, yeast, cherry, lemon, light straw. Moderate sourness. Light-medium body, light effervescence, acidity.

Bottle sampled on 1/10/09: Pours a hazy ruby red with a fizzy, light pink head. Aroma of fresh tart blackberries and some leathery funk with a touch of malty sweetness. Starts with good light sweetness and fruity notes with lots of tart balance and some bretty complexity before a drier crisp finish with lingering berry flavor. A nicely styled and well-made brew.

Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Pours with a pinkish head and a redish body. Aroma is earthy weith some champagne light grape, sourness, light tart blueberries. Immediatly it is a bit too fizzy and a bit dry upon hitting the mouth. Taste is very nice, with a much stronger fruity profile than the aroma leads one to believe. The fruit easily overrides the initial sourness.

BCTC 2007. Fantastic rich purple and reddish tinted body with a creamy, almost-pinkish head. About 30% opaque. Light tart up front, the sourness (mild to medium) and blackberry characters are easily noticed, and I want to describe the general fruit and berry flavor as having some black cherries and even raspberries in there. The blackberries seem to be more fruit and less seed and vine, as you can occasionally find in a berry beer. Sweet smelling, nearly candy-like nose at times. Medium tartness, medium dryness, overall a really good experimental beer. Bullfrog seems to do these unstyles fairly well.

JW77 with another amazing gem. Purple/red pour. Aroma of berries, tons of berries. Blueberries, blackberries, cherries, raspberries...plus the sweet smell of oak, bourbon, and vanilla. Flavor is tart but not crazy sour. Vanilla, bourbon, wood, and of course the fruit. Lots of blueberries in this one but also some nice tannins blackberry flavors. Delicious.

Bottle. Dark maroon body with an eighth inch off white head. Tart blue berries, light oakiness, a hint of bourbon and blackberry. Light acidity and tart finish. A note of vanilla as well. Great beer.

Bottle shared by BrianK. Pours a deep violet pinkish with a nice fluffy lively head. Aroma is very powerful- intense berry, bourbon, vanilla, cream, funk, and vinous all at once. Funk is almost all out- tons of brett and lacto, with some dark cherry skin -pedio, blueberry, red wine grapes, slightly astrienget woodines, tannic, slight bourbon with vanilla and a sour almsot sharp acidic finish- awesome!

bottle thanks to bu11zeye, pinkish hued head with reddish color, nose is black currants, flavor of stale bread and sour laundry, oily with a dry finish
