This poured a murky brown color with a small biege head. Aroma was pretty much all funk but not really lacto or bret, some weird funk that i havent really smelled before. Flavor was light traces of brown ale but still mainly funk and sourness.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Last HWOH. I think cornboy brought this. This is a flemish wild/brown ale with tons of wild yeas tand bacteria character. Aroma is pretty much straight up blue cheese- funky, stinky cheese, tons of brett horseblanket as well. Flavor is slightly sour, funky, yeasty, doughy, musty and old with lightt oxidation/cardboard. More blue cheese as well. Fizzy carbonation due to lots of refermentation in the bottle, but settles after a while. Pretty good- real funky though.

750 bottle. I was sitting on this for a while so I finally gave it a try. Not a bad beer. Along the Belgian style of brown ales. Very dark for a brown. Might have been slightly past it’s prime but still a good beer.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
I have had this brew on several occasions before and it is definately starting to turn. Thin sheet of dense creamy foam. Very good carbonation. Awesome hot spot of head generation keeps a sheen on the surface. This is how a beer is supposed to look. It actually looks like a fine belgian. Dark fruit and a slight sourness (brett as everybody calls it). Sort of a tart cranberry and even a little raspberry. Some spices in the aroma (ginger). Color is a very impresive dark reddish brown. Fizzy and lively in the mouth. Dry and tart. Little metallic up front which kind of put you off initially. The the dry tartness kicks in and you find yourself struggling to find saliva. A little too dry and tart for my liking. Obviously not the original intention of the brown ale. Finish is dry and tart again with what seems like a little grittyness. Finally a beer I that I can understand the descripter of horse blanket. Except that you are not smelling it but eating one. I probably would have liked this brew better when it was fresh as these tart one are not my cup of tea.
