Smells and tastes like a small amount of very flavorful dark roasts were used. My notes were getting rather brief at this point in the evening, fortunate and unfortunate. Yay beer! lithy (1885), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 26, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a dark opaque brown with a tall foamy sudsy light tan airy froth. Aroma of brett and roast, sweet and tart, berries and dark sweet tootsie-roll, actually smells pretty good, definite brett infection which is somewhat lucky as it could have been something not so friendly, Flavor is upfront very bretty, some sharp tartness, bitter, not very roasty, mostly tart, some other infection present that isn’t so pleasant, hint of grassy munich malt sweetness. Medium/light bodied with lots of added airy fluffy but fairly sharp carbonation, no doubt due to the infection. Will have to give this another go... uninfected. Now that I think about it, my bottle of Lakefront White had a pleasant infection also. bigguns22 (122), Maryland, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2009 Oostkant!!! Burnt chocolate with a peaty topsoil nose. Earthy and rich. Very dark brown, small tan head. Wow. Pretzels. Even the salt. Crisp and cracker like. I’m digging this character. It’s like Paul Newman pretzel sticks. Sweet lip smacking finish, molasses sweet.
