Not as bad as I expected, considering the photo, but also not a fan of the extra buckwheat and rye flavors. Smells like an old cellar, tastes upfront like a light saison then you're hit by rye and earthy bitters that linger for long long after,

22oz bomber split with the one known as Anndiesel. Murky stained glass amber-copper body. Massive, obnoxious, infected-like off-white head. The malt tones are really nice and show a lot of depth, the buckwheat complementing the rye. Not sure what the Brett offers, other than some pseudo-traditional belgo feel. Unique, has a lot of Belgian/Euro sensibility, but lacks the body. Still a pretty cool beer.

Pours a sort of copper color with a large white head. Aroma is obviously quite bretty in that earthy sort of herbal way. Lods of grain and spiciness therein as well. Taste is funky and kind of bitter. Powerful grainess and herbalness up in there. Pretty good.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled in 8/2016. Pours lightly hazy deep reddish copper/light brown color with a 2-3 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with insane retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings around the glass. Insane appearance. Aromas of big apricot, pineapple, peach, pear, apple, golden raisin, cherry, berry, mango, melon, peppercorn, hay, straw, musty/leathery funk, caramel, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, wheat, rye, light nuttiness, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, dark/bready/rye malt, and earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big apricot, pineapple, peach, pear, apple, golden raisin, cherry, berry, mango, melon, peppercorn, hay, straw, musty/leathery funk, caramel, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, wheat, rye, light nuttiness, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Moderate peppery rye/yeast spiciness, pine/herbal/grassy bitterness, and slight tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of apricot, pineapple, peach, pear, apple, golden raisin, cherry, berry, mango, melon, peppercorn, hay, straw, leather, funk, caramel, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, rye, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, dark/bready/rye malt, and earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance. A bit of lingering hop astringency, but not overwhelming. Moderate dryness from bitter/spiciness, increasing through the glass. High carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 8.5%. Overall this is an awesome dark Brett saison style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, dark/bready/rye malt, and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink for the ABV. Fairly aggressively bitter, spicy, and drying; but has a wonderful showcase of Brett complexity, with balancing malt character. A highly enjoyable offering.
