Draft. Rich copper beer with a light tan head. Light bourbon and rich malt aroma. Sweet caramel flavor with bourbon and a bit of dried fruit/fig. Very light yeast if any. Medium body. Sweet caramel and bourbon lingers. No real Belgian characteristics stand out - it’s much more like a makers mark and coke. I don’t think this version had any brett added (Marin barrel night at Toronado).

Sampled at the second annual Bistro’s West Coast Barrel Aged Beer Fest: Pours a transparent dark copper orange with a wispy-lacing spotty off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramely bourbon with an oaky semi-tart light fruity complexity. Body starts rich and slightly cloying caramely biscuity sweet with some fresh oaky bourbon vanilla notes. Finishes with a touch of tartness and sweet warmth. A decent brew.

Draft at The Bistro’s BA Fest 07. Dark and murky brown color. Sugary nose with bourbon and brett notes. Sweet and fruity flavor with a slight brett sourness, very slight. Bready.

On tap at Bistro’s 2nd BA Fest. 3-4 ounce sample. Slightly sour, vinous, wine-like aroma with some sweet, malty caramel notes present. Aroma is kind of bubblegum-like. Mild/moderately hazy dark amber-cola colored body with a small, wispy, off-white head. VERY sweet, VERY sugary, sweet, sweet start. A little spicy and peppery in the middle. Light sourness late. This is super sweet and super cloying. A mess.
