Nov 16, 2009 2006 vintage on tap at the Bistro Barrel Aged Fest. Pours a somewhat hazy reddish-brown with a small, foamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet and a tiny bit tart with sweet malt, cherry, oak, bourbon, vanilla, and some brett. Flavor is very sweet but good with caramel malt, toffee, oak, bourbon, cherry, and vanilla. Brett really doesn’t show up much on the flavor at all. This is definitely an American-style quad and doesn’t hide that fact whatsoever. Sweet on the finish with medium body and medium carbonation.

The aroma is fruity and sweet with a touch of bourbon and wood. A medium bodied quad. The malts are fruity and sweet, with a touch of oak and perhaps a hint of funk. The hops are earthy. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Very sweet finish. I can’t really notice and Brett. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet with some alcohol bite.

The aroma is sweet and fruity with funky brett, caramel, spices, bourbon, wood, and dried fruit. The flavor is rich and sweet with light funk, caramel, bourbon, and dried fruit. Just a wonderful mash-up of a ton of aromas and flavors.
