Otown Throwdown III. Shared by Bobo. Pours a murky woody brown with no carbonation- no head. Aroma is woody, oak, extreme sweet malts, red wine, vinous, sherry oxidation, and a fortified wine- almost a port sweetness then some solvent and a tart hint as well. Flavor is also sweet and sour, slight aceto, lactic, light woody funk, grapeskin, fruity esters, toffee, caramel sweetness and cedarwood oil, and then some tobacco leaves, earth, biscuit and a strange long tannic and tart finish. Strange beer.

Cloudy burgundy with a tiny off white head. Sour aroma with berries, lacto and brett notes. Flavour was sour with lacto, brett, wood and sour berries. Finished sour.
