Brown Ale aged in used Pinot Noir barrels from local Sonoma County wineries. It is aged for about 12 months with sour cherries, brettanomyces, lactobacillus, and pediococcus added to each barrel. Flavors from the cherries, Pinot Noir and oak balance each other nicely with a little funk from the brett.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours almost clear amber. Aroma is barrel, fruit, wine, candy. Body is medium, but strongly sour with traces of sweet fruit. Actually rather dry. I remember this was the first sour beer ever that I liked, and now I remember why. Great beer.

Bottle. A- Oak, cherry, mild funk, red wine, complex. A- Brown red color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Cherry, woodsy, slightly herbal, dark grapes, wine, complex. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- Outstanding. Certainly lives up to the hype. Not a huge amount of funkiness to it. A complex blend of cherries, oak, and array of other complex notes. Well done.

Pours orange-tinged ruby into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Cherry funk and grass aromas. Dry with pinot, oak and cherry upfront turning to lacto, brett and marshmallow before turning to tart oak in the lasting finish.

Bottle, by way of a trade. Hazy, orange copper colour. Dense, lasting, off white head. Nose has black cherry juice. Cherry stone. Soft brett. Touch of wet leather. Bit of dusty, cellar muddiness. Further to that there’s some plum and date. Plenty going on. Taste is dry, funky, stone fruit sour. Some stewed fruit bitterness. Mouthfeel is tangy, woody, and lightly sour. Bretty twang. Some light, cherry lip sweetness. Clean, bright, tangy mouthfeel. Soft acidity. Cherry stone, tangy bitter finish. Lovely stuff.

Bottle. Copper-ish color. Aroma of sour red fruit, malt, tart, mild vanilla and oak. Taste is quite sour, with red fruit, oak, brett tart, soft red grape, oak and some malt. Body is somewhat thin, finish is long and fruity. Nice, but a bit overrated.
