750 bottle @RBSG shared by Jimmack-pours a thin light tan head and dark amber color with some particles. Taste is tart, brett, medium malt. Taste is acidic/tart fruit-lemon, brett, drying, light/medium malt.

Bottle... Muddy, light brown ale with a large, fizzy, tan/orange head. The breadsy, spicy nose releases tart notes of cola nut and lemon. Perfectly balanced, dry and tart. Light-bodied and fizzy. Lengthy, tart, dry finish. Don’t buy it expecting a true, English brown ale. Very Flemish. Thanks go out to growler for sharing the bottle.

Poured a darker reddish-brown color with a small off white head. Aromas and tastes of citrus (lemons and oranges), spicy and apple. Lightly sour with a light sweet balance. Crisp and dry finish.

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.

Murky brown with a huge overcarbonated head and very good lace. The aroma has notes of sour apple, apricot, banana, floral hops, toasted malt, and quite earthy yeast esters. The taste start with sweet and sour fruit notes with an undertone of malts. The finish is a touch yeasty and a hint of nutty quality. The feel is quite lively and a bit chalky. Good brew once you can pour it.

Advertised as Mojo (Chuck without brett)... Poured a hazy brown color with a small off white head and light lacing on the glass. Caramel, toffee and oak aroma. Sweet caramel, roast, and finishing a light, grassy, bitterness, though also rather dry and earthy. Just OK, I would imagine the post-brett Chuck is better.
