Bottle shared by MIBRomeo on 12/16/06: Pours a hazy copper mahogany with a thin ring of tan bubbles. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, light oak, and tart fruity cherries. Body has a nice balance of sweet caramel malt and tart fruity notes. An interesting and enjoyable brew.

Bottle... Mid-GABF ’06 at the Falling Rock Tap House, Denver... Murky, caramel-colored lager with a small, creamy, off-white head. The Flemish nose is of oak, vinegar, caramel and light smoke with a kiss of sourmash. Tart, acetic flavor with mild caramel sweetness, wood and just a whisper of bitterness. Full-bodied with an abrasive mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Finishes sour, bitter, then dry.

Hazed dark copper color with only a few bubbles adrift atop. Light oak and pale malts filter through the nose. Hint of sourdough in the backdrop along with some mild fruits. Smooth and full in feel. Flavors of Door County cherries, with a linger of sourmash. I like it.

Bottled at the Magic Porch... thanks to MIBRomeo for scoring this brew! Poured a lightly hazy reddish/iced tea brown with only a few loose bubbles around the edges. Nose was of tart cherry and dust funkiness with underlying smoky caramel, toffee, and a hint of lemon... odd concept for a beer, but worked very well. Flavor was heavily laced with funky brett fruitiness.. really liked how it complimented the sweet toffee and smoked wood beneath. Sour on the palate with a light and somewhat grainy body.. felt good. This was a very unique beer that I am glad to have tried! Thanks Chuck!

Unlabeled bottle at Falling Rock. Called Heller Brett. Muddy brown with some ruby around the edges. Nose is strong wine and sour fruits. Not much of the bock aroma remaining. Taste is strong wine, sour fruits, some vinegar and faint malt. The sweetness is dominated by the wine character tart fruits. Body is under-carbonated with some slickness and astringency. Finishes with more sourness, tart fruits, wine and faint malts. Very sour beer and unfortunately, not much of the bock there at all.
