Sampled at the brewery on 11/9/07: Pours a hazy dark golden orange with a wispy white head. Complex oaky sweet and tart nose has some light fruity notes and a touch of toffee. Starts with good biscuity caramel and big tart oaky complexity toward a drier earthy cherry finish. An incredibly balanced, complex and enjoyable beer.

(Draught) Pours a lighty hazy orange body with a small white head. Funky aroma of cheese, brett, oak, butterscotch, and mustiness. Flavor of oak barrel, funky (seems to have various microflora strains), apple, some herbal qualities, and mild vinegar with nice acidity and a dry finish.

BBF 07. Pours a hazy deep coppery golden with a nice thin foamy head. Aroma is Sweet and sour citrus fruits, lacto, funky brett, modest amounts of wood and oak- light vanilla, orange peel, and plenty of horse/barn funk- even a hint of dstinky blue cheese. Good sour flavor, plenty of lacto tartness, and a bit prickly with acedic. Apple cider and apple skin, slight acetaldehyde with more citrus- pineapple brett funk. Good finihs, but I was expecting it to be more sour actually - didnt finish as dry as I thought either- maybe this beer needed more time in that funky barrell!

On draft at the Patron Saints party. Amber, funky sour vinegar. Funky is a good name for this one
