Bottle. Aroma of sharp airfix glue, then some dark fruitiness, bit oaky. Taste is alright, dry, grapes, can't get much Brett, dark fruit. Glue again... Confusing and not very pleasant for me.

Bottle poured into a snifter showing translucent caramel with no head. The nose shows acetic vinegar with cinnamon and hints of very light brett. The palate is fully bodied and not carbonated. Flavors show a tea-like bitterness with lightly burn malts and barely any bitterness with hints of caramel and very light vanilla throughout the background. The finish shows roasted coffee notes.

Pours a deep copper to brown with no head. Vinegar, balsamic, cherry and dark cacao. Hints of almond as it warms up. Light on the palate with very little carobonation. Very dry and earthy on the finish. The finish is quite intense and overly bretty. --- Beer merged from original tick of Barrel Reserve Series #6 on 11 Sep 2016 at 17:16 - Score: 5

A deep brown color with a musty caramel and chocolate aroma. Medium bodied with a very spritzy mouthfeel. The taste is fruits, caramel and berries. One of the better in the series.

Bottle. Nice nose of chocolate, vinegar, cherry. Minerally flavor, ok vinegar notes. Again too flat and comes off as watery.
