3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of funky horseblanket, vinegar, wild fermentation, and brettanomyces. The flavor is sweet and acidic with notes of brettanomyces, caramel, and alcohol, as well as a lighter note of mold - but in a good way. The alcohol burns in the throat, but the body is light.

2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tasted on tap at the Bistro Barrel Aged Beer Festival on 11/15/2008. This barleywine/wheatwine pours a medium orange gold color from the tap. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is strange to say the least, I mostly got acetone and diesel, then some funk and must. A medium bodied barleywine/wheatwine. The malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are earthy. Kind of funky and musty, but the acetone aroma is not in the flavor. The palate is strange, kind of thin with an alcohol after bite. Not sure I can get past the aroma on this one. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is tart with and alcohol bite.
