GT2 (5658) - Riverslime, California, USA - JAN 21, 2013
Tap at The Birch simply as Di Como Malthus Birolla Z. Listed at 6.5%. Also listed as a sour on the tap list, which I agree with. Big foam atop inky red. Huge retention and lace. Funky nose, cedar, Brett B, grapes, salt. Taste is salty, fresh, minerally, lemon juice, Brett B heavy. Refreshing. Buoyant palate. Really nice!

Chestnut brown color with thin white head. Sour oaky aroma of whisky. Chewy malty palate with nice balance of bubble gum tartness and whiskey and cherry wood notes.

womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - NOV 16, 2012
Cloudy amber colored pour with an off-white head. Nose starts off with a lot of raisin, some hints of metal, and a bit of toasted malt. Light woodiness, some whisky, and a bit of vanilla. Light acetic character, too. The flavor is fairly fruit forward. Lots of dark fruit, some red wine vinegar, and sweet bread. Drying wood notes, some vanilla, and a fair amount of whisky flavor which actually gives a slight burn.

Served on draft at The Birch, Norfolk. Pours a hazy red-brown color with a medium sized frothy off-white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of tart cherries, marzipan and brown sugar. The taste is nutty, marzipan, and a tart fruity finish. Medium bodied.
