Commercial Description:
This beer was put into an oak bourbon barrel two years and fermented with traces of our house yeast as well as Bastogne and Belgian Golden Yeast. Brettanomyces was introduced as well. Fermented and aged in the same barrel, this beer also had brewery employees added to secondary.

(Draught) Pours a burgundy body with a spare ring of off-white bubbles. Aroma of caramel, horsy, and dark fruit. Flavor of a subtle brett character, light blackberries, and a dry oak finish.

Damn tickers....
I’ve decided rather than abstain from rating all of these stupid entries that arent going to get more than 2 or 3 ratings, to enter a ticker rating to help illustrate how dumb these entries are.
It would be one thing if people actually wrote something useful about the beer, but no, it’s just to get another number. They’ve had this at just about every fest in Boston and it’s quite a regular on the fest circuit, but gets so little exposure that it’s a better idea to just put your comments under the entry for the regular munich dark.

Brown colored beer with some head. Nose is malt, yeast and some light hops. Flavor has varying degrees of malt, with yeast and hops. Medium dry finish, with a light body. Notes of blackberries are faint.
