25 oz bottle, via wetheral. Pours an orangish amber body with a nice foamy off-white head with some nice lacing. A little more bretty than the 001 with less vinegar and more oakiness. Quite funky and fruity. The flavor is dry and bretty with lots of oak and sour cherry tartness, plummy fruitiness, caramel. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, very dry with a little too much fizzy carbonation. Overall, a really great beer, a touch better than the 001 for me.

Jul 9, 2008 750ml bottle under extreme pressure. I’d like to apologize to Hopdog for soaking his ceiling. My reflexes were a little slow and for some reason I thought I could stop the geyser with my thumb. bad idea. Poured cloudy amber in color with a small beige colored head. Aroma of brett, cherries, dark fruits, vanilla, and wood. Taste is tart with fruits, cherries, oak, vanilla, and overall very complex. The finish was smooth, and the body was nice. I really enjoyed this one.

Jul 2, 2008 Big Thanks to Miver for bringing this to the last tasting. Pours a murky amber and high carbonation due to an explosion of the bottle- Chill this down and open over the sink!!! This one is definitely a solid blend of 3 great beers, so how could the end result be bad? This was great- aroma of super funky brett and other wild yeasts/bacteria, along with a nice aged woody aroma but not too oaky or vanilla-like. Nice founky flavor with some aged caramel malts, ligth oxidation, thcik sweet toasted adn deep caramel sharp malts, light acetic acid, even some ketchup, and some light oakiness. Good mouthfeel- smooth, high carb is nice in here- and a great lasting acidic finish. Nice blend.

Aroma of light brett, cherries, raspberries, some roast, a bit of cocoa, and vanilla. Taste of sweet caramel up front, some sour cherry, raisins, roasted malts, with some cocoa, vanilla oak, and light alcohol in the finish. Thanks Joe!
