Complex oaky sweet and tart nose has some light fruity notes and a touch of toffee. Starts with good biscuity caramel and big tart oaky complexity toward a drier earthy cherry finish. An incredibly balanced, complex and enjoyable beer. Dickinsonbeer (3502), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 1, 2007 BBF 07. Pours a hazy deep coppery golden with a nice thin foamy head. Aroma is Sweet and sour citrus fruits, lacto, funky brett, modest amounts of wood and oak- light vanilla, orange peel, and plenty of horse/barn funk- even a hint of dstinky blue cheese. Good sour flavor, plenty of lacto tartness, and a bit prickly with acedic. Apple cider and apple skin, slight acetaldehyde with more citrus- pineapple brett funk. Good finihs, but I was expecting it to be more sour actually - didnt finish as dry as I thought either- maybe this beer needed more time in that funky barrell!

Funky Barrel, man was I excited to see this. Pours copper brown with a bright white ring head. The nose was beautiful with a whole of lot of sour vinegar funk. Taste was robust sweet, sour and vinegary. Great sour, reminds me a lot of Deschutes Firewood. After drinking another pint or 2 of this at Patron Saint’s Party I have to bump this up a bit. riversideAK (2799), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Tap at Beachwood BBQ. Poured orange gold with some haze. Aroma up front is sour and tart with some musty notes as well as light tart fruit. Flavor is mouth puckering sour/tart up front with a nice dry finish. One can pick up nice fruity notes behind the alcohol as well as "funky" musty aspects as well. I am just getting into these sour beers, and this is a good one! badlizard (2386), Berkeley, California, USA
