(Draught) Pours a clear amber body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of herbs, leather, caramel, raisins, toffee, and brown sugar. Flavor of brett, toffee, caramel, citrus, and brown sugar.

Draft: Freetail brewpub .. . light sweetness, dark fruit, cherry, hay and horse butt .. . light foam, dark tan .. . brett level is nice and unique, a brett’ed hoppy doppelbock .. . . Kids, your daddy and his daddy are involved in a very sticky, nutty, chewy, chocolatey- put it away, boy!- situation.

On tap at the brewpub shortly after the La Muerta bottle release. The beer pours a hazy brown color with a white head. The aroma has some nice dark fruit notes, as well as quite a bit of toffee and wheat. There is also some nice funk and leather notes from the brett, which go well with the other notes. The flavor is a little bit different. I still get a lot of funk and leather notes from the brettanomyces, which are accentuated with some orange citrus notes. There is also some toffee and a light amount of sourness in the flavor. The beer is fairly dry overall and very easy to drink. Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation.
