Bottle, batch 256. Pours an enticing ruby with a creamy light tan head. A mild JP funk on the nose, some apples, tart, caramel, tinges of cherries, grape skins. Quite tart, wonderful caramel complementing the tartness, a mild oak woodiness with some nice drying tannins. A wonderful brew, very balanced with the sour, caramel and oak complementing each other exceptionally well. Extremely drinkable!

Batch 256. Aroma is funky brett, figs, oak, and yeast. Reddish copper color, lots of floaties, and a gentle carbonation. The taste is barnyard brett, oak, subtle fruitiness (lemon) and some light roast, with a fairly bracing sourness present. It seems like the barrel character, with all the funky bugs that reside in said barrel, really dominates every aspect of the beer. As much as I love the critters in the JP beers, I wish they would maybe blend in the wood aged portions with regular beer to show off the base beer a little. This is no Biere de Garde, at least not anymore.

Bottle shared by Crosling, thanks. Poured a cloudy caramel orange-brown color with a moderate off-white head that faded to a layer. Fruity aroma (citrus, apple, light berries) with some funky yeastiness and a hint of oak. Tart, funky entry with some light yeastiness leading into a fruity (citrus, green apple, and apricot) with a lightly dry, oaky finish. Smooth, light drying finish. Pretty good beer, but not as funky as I have heard others say it was.
