In short: A funky and very oak/tannic copper ale with plenty of caramelized malts. Original sipper.
How: Tap at Vermont Brewers Festival 2011
The look: Cloudy light-copper body topped by a small beige head
In long: Unusual and intriguing nose blending funky sourness and strong malt sweetness. Taste is quite intense, funky, very sharp, very oaky, lots of tannins, heavily caramelized, acidic. Razor sharp biting finish. A strange and original beast. A nice special treat for the 2011 edition of this classic beer festival. I got drunk yet again at the festival, I was so pathetic that someone wearing a pair of crocs looks down on me in disdain.
