Apr 18, 2007 Pours a transparent mahogany ruby with a thin ring of spotty tan head. Aroma of tart fruity cherries and slightly biscuity malt with some funky barnyard character. Starts with a nice, lightly caramel malty sweetness with a good fruity cherry character and a touch of horseblanket. Finishes fairly full with nice balance and sweet tartness.

Poured a clear dark brown color with a thin off-white head. Tart and big wild yeast character. Leathery and barnyard. It gets stronger as it warms. Semi-sweet with a light tartness and yeasty funk. Light to medium bodied.

Apr 10, 2007 Transparent and chocolate gold in color with grey galaxy dust swirling on top. Aroma catapults originality. Black licorice with black currant dripping off pinot grapes. Blackberry appeal, burnt rye chips and burgundy over baker’s chocolate. Flavor rolls in with cocoa powder, concord grapes and zinfandel. Rye trollops dry chocolate grist and emits cocoa-esque nougat flavors. Too much and not enough, rolling oats and fading into tootsie rolls, void of any tart, brett allowances. Hints of faded lavender and floral freshness. Amazingly lacking carbonation, raising questions as to the amount of infection and filtration. Chocolate rye bread careens with nutella and Bordeaux, anticlimactically reaching a soggy, clean and dry finish.

Mar 22, 2007 bottle - Pours very dark brown with almost no head. The aroma is yeast and dark fruit with a little farmhouse funk. The flavor has some caramel malt, dark fruit, tartness, and funk. It’s a bit on the watery side and needs a more assertive flavor, IMO. Not bad, but could definitely be better.

Jan 25, 2007 22oz bottle pours dark brown with a short tan head. Aromas of bread, brett, a touch of chocolate, and some cherry. Flavor is caramel, chocolate, brett, cherry, some spice, and some overall funk. Medium body with lively carbonation and a slightly acidic mouthfeel. Interesting and complex but something just wasn’t there..
