A hazed reddish copper ale with no head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with loads of dark fruits, molasses, plums, licorice, light acidity, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with ground cherries, lactic acid, Epsom salts, very nice and complex. Bottle at Pushkinwows Xmas 2018 gathering.

Wine bottle. A little rye barrel, a little alcohol, but light sourness balances. Flavor is a cool mix of sour and wood and alcohol. Cool sstillish shit.

Bottle at Saraveza Farmhouse Festival, pours a still dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of sweet perfumey notes, sherry liqueur and dark fruits. Flavour is unusual, with notes of rye whiskey and sherry liqueur. Has a lot of nail polish in there too, but it's not too detracting. Not carbonated (duh), but it works well.

The beer is still and dark maroon. Fruity with some chocolate. Lots of cherry coffee flavor. I like it a lot more than expected. Mild oak and spirit flavor. A little sharp on the palate but great complexity.

Aroma is interesting with a nice barrel character of both whiskey and pinot noir. Moderately strong coffee character with some light chocolate notes. Quite a bit of fruitiness with some light phenolic notes and a bit of the Oregon poopiness. Pours a dark brown with lighter brown notes on the edges. No head or lacing and small legs. Flavor has a nice light malt character with quite a bit of fruitiness and acidity. The coffee is less noticeable than in the aroma with lighter chocolate notes as well. Lots of dark berries and cherries. Lighter barrel character than in the aroma, but still quite a bit of red wine. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with no carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very interesting beer but I am not sure I am a huge fan. It is better than expected, but still not great. Definitely works as a still beer and I am not sure carbonation would have helped, in fact it probably would have hurt the beer.

What the Funk, October 2014, Denver. Pours a deep orangish brown appearance with no head. Definitely some tannic notes. Obviously, no carbonation. Leather, dark fruits, and lots of wood. Pretty acidic. Some yogurt and dark chocolate. Kind of interesting but I’m not sure if I could drink much of this.
