Wow, this was a fantastic beer. Pours dark brown with a nice foamy off white head. Little bit of a gusher when I opened the bottle. Funky sour aroma when you open it. Great flavor and a decent amount of sour in the blend. Sour fruits, a little bit of a dry finish. I want more :)

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.

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.

Poured a lightly hazy purple brown color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. 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!

Bottled at Papsoes Blind tasting 19th. June 2008 no 25: Amber coloured. Unclear. Dense brown head. Brett, grapefruits, sourness, vanilla and oak in the aroma. Flavour of berries, fruits, grape, spice, yeast and wood. Complex and balanced. Full bodied. Dry. Woody sweetnes and sourness in the end. Very well balanced.

Bottle shared thanks to miver. Gusher alert. This one shot the cork out at 100 mph and soaked my ceiling. Poured a medium brown color with an average sized of white head. Aromas of cherries, tart fruits, yeast, oaky woodiness, and vanilla. Tastes of cherries, dark fruits, bourbon, oak, and vanilla.
