Commercial Description:
The beer you are about to enjoy started it's 21 months of barrel aging with Brettanomyces bruxellemsis in the spring of 2005. This combination of wood and yeast is largely responsible for the je ne sais quoi of many Belgian beers. Our 10th Anniversary Barrel Reserve's lengthy aging has resulted in a mahogany colored ale with a distictive Brettanomyces nose, assented with oak from new American oak barrels. Hints of vanilla and sherry-like notes make this beer one to savor. As it warms in the glass, its layers of complexity are further revealed. We hope you enjoy this fine beer. Cheers!

Murky amber. Blueberry, woody, appley aroma. Light fruitiness (berry, pear) and some vague chocolate. Decent, if a little bit rough and oily.

750ml bottle shared courtesy of Axilla (and I have another bottle acquired in a trade with Sephiroth!). Poured a medium and cloudy reddish / brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of cherries, pie crust, wood, lightly funky, and caramel. Tastes of cherries, berries, vanilla, wood, and funky. Lightly sweet with a sour finish. Nice.

Bottle… RBSG ‘08… Cloudy burnt orange ale with a small, creamy, white head. The nose is funky, fruity, woodsy and vinous with an acidic dose of bourbon. Medium to full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and modest carbonation. Tangy sourmash, bitter alcohol and bretty sourness meld with a warm note of vanilla. Finishes mildly sweet, lightly bitter and a touch tangy.

(750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy deep amber-brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of oak, vanilla, leather, brett, and vinous. Flavor of moderately sour cherry, caramel, and wood with a dry black cherry pit finish.
A well crafted sour and one of the best I have had the opportunity to try.

Big thanks to beatiefan20k. Poured a slightly hazed amber color with an off-white head. The aroma had some notes of cherry, leather, wood, and a touch of white glue. The flavor had a hint of sweetness to start. Fairly dry finish with a light bitterness.
