We've taught an old brown new tricks. The brunette hue is derived from roasted Belgian aromatic malts, and fruity esters are augmented by lemon and orange zest. For a further twist, Brettanomyces induced secondary fermentation flecked with sour cherries, raisins, cranberries, figs, dates, and currants for a mildly acidic ale. Enjoy this gift now, or for even freakier, age it somewhere dark for the ultimate re-gift.

Shared by Tom at Chuck’s. Color is very dark ruby brown. Aroma is very good and weird. First smells of sour then very woodsy and something very strange... Like maybe fennel or something like that maybe curry. Flavor has a strong cherry lactic character. Don’t take my word for it. Strong sour bounded by the strength. Earthy and woodsy. Strong, a little too strong.

On tap at the Holiday Ale Festival. An usual brew. Pours a deep brown color with a large white head. The aroma is deep Belgian spices, some sour fruit, wood. The flavor is mostly sour fruit, a bit of dust, some tartness, oranges, some heat, a bit of dry barrel. Gin? Heat and sourness. Pretty nice.
