Dec 5, 2008 3rd rating, big thanks to Mike for this growler. Thought id put in a good rate so I could share the rest of it with people at Strong Ale tomorrow. Pours amberish with a head that quickly faded. Nose is sweet rich and tart with some nice malty notes. Taste is really quite complex with a very with vinious qualities, sweet malt, but really a big tart funky beer. The alcohol is also quite well hidden. Damn tasty!

Dec 3, 2008 Pours a hazy copper color from the tap at the brewery. As BBB63 points out, there are an expansive number of detactable flavors in this brew, but the general consistency is a bit thin and watery for the amount of aging in my opinion. It left me longing for more yeast and malt.

Nov 29, 2008 FoBAB 2008 and currently on tap: Pours a coppery hue with a thin but lasting frothy head. The aroma has notes of red fruits, oak, vanilla, whisky, caramel, phenolic alcohol, slight grassy and spicy hops, mild barnyard funk vapours. The taste starts with a bit of a palate shock of alcohol and wood, tart fruit, and grainy malts. Melts into more a bock once you get past the acidity and oak. The finish is crushing bone dry, much of sugar has been ate alive but the yeast, the body is once again too thin for the flavor profile IMO. Weird and different but not sour enough to be classified as a wild ale.
