Shared by Stine, thanks Eben, super cool. I am very surprised with the JP special releases, surprised that I do not seem to enjoy them that much. The beer starts fine. Aroma has a good amount of sourness but it has all these other characteristics that are coming to describe American sour ales. There is a whole bunch of barrel (similar to Springfield Mueller Reserve, Buzzards Bay Farmhouse), lots of buttery oak, sweet oak sugars. Taste has a lot oak coming through, a negative astringent fruitiness and a nice thick vinegar like sourness. Not enough sourness to offset the other over-oaked characteristics. I am really glad I got to try this but this goes in line with a lot of the other brews that spend a lot of time in the barrel. Too much time? Maybe the barrels are newer, who knows?

Thanks so much to James for sharing this one! 750ml bottle - Pours a cloudy orangish amber color with a thin white head. Smells of oak, dry sharp funk, and orange rind rot. Also a bit of old crayon. Taste is a long wave of dry brett and oaky fruited malt with a drying finish. Lots of light orange and tangerine in the mid-palate with strong oak at the end. Nearly bone dry, but it seems to have held up well!

Tasted in 2009. Ckloudy orange brown with a small white head. Aroma is of orange, light funk and oak. Taste is of oak, citrus, sour and peaches.

pours a chestnut brown with so e red hues and a thinner off white head. The nose has a creamy lactic acid note up front, some bright fruits, red grapes, light Brett. The flavor is very lactic and creamy, light vanilla notes with some minty Brett presence. Very sweet, light to medium body, creamy with an assertive carbonation.

dark amber, translucent, larger bubbled thin white ring after dissipation. Nose is peach, tangerine, oak sweetness, much more sweet than deviation, bit minty, candy-like. Flavor is husky, oak, bit medicinal, minty and lemon menthol across mid-finish, end is bitter, bit peachy, rooty, lots of creamy lactic finish, almost ice cream sweetness. Oddly candy yet minty experience throughout, contrasting though controlled.

Bottle 750ml.
