Bottle - corked and capped. Amber pour. Small white head. Nose is funky, slightly sour with leather, bits of cheese, wood and sweat. Taste is more funky yeast notes, wood, overripe fruit, sweet malts, herbs and faint spice. Bubbly body with some dryness. Finish is more funky, yeast, light spice, mellow maltiness, wood and herbs. Again, afterwards, the sediment is shaken and poured into my glass. I get a hot chocolate looking appearance with green apples in the nose and a caramel covered green apple with the taste. Like before, this seems like a new beer once the sediment has been added.

Jul 3, 2008 Richmond Gathering. Corked and capped 750, another gem The_Beer_God busted out. Hazy golden brown with a thin, yellowy head. Funky cheese and nuts, woody and a bit yeasty. Dry finish. Nice stuff!

May 16, 2008 Courtesy of The_Beer_God at RB Richmond Gathering. Golden hazy with rocky moderatly persistent head. Carmel, honey and some cheese notes or top of some sour aromas. Sweet grainey malt with some alchohol warming then a peach/pear fruityness with a bit of carbonic bite from high carbonation. Very dry finish that ends with some alchohol warmth and peppery spiciness.

Apr 25, 2008 Courtesy of The_Beer_God at the 6th Richmond Gathering. Appearance is lighter amber than the previously sampled BBB dark. Aroma and flavors are also quite similar, but this lacks the roasty notes. Drier, with a considerable amount of pepper. Dandelion notes as well. Didn’t like this version nearly as well, which surprised me.

Apr 23, 2008 Updated: Apr 26, 2008Sweet aroma, cherry with some grass. Light golden brown body. Very dry taste, apple accent with some fruit rind ending. A light pepper spice along with some sweet orange citrus in the ending.
