Dark Sour Ale
Changeling is an enchanting blend of dark sour ales aged in whiskey and wine barrels that were inoculated with Brettanomyces and lactobacillus. It pours a deep ruby color with touches of gold at the edges of the glass. Leading with plum and toasty malt, the flavor transmutes into a soft tartness, with notes of earthy, funky Brett and a touch of lingering caramel to create a delicate balance.

750ml bottle at Brian's office. Pours a murky dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is fruity, woody, winey, and slightly balsamic. Similar taste. Dry. Interesting.

Medium brown. No head. The nose is woody, bit of whisky, and also vinous, and quite fruity. On the palate, there's tartness, and definitely vinous character. Light brett, and it finishes with bretty dryness, too, but the barrel seems to have left some sweetness. Interesting character. This is complex...not necessarily loving it, but I appreciate the wildly complex character.

750 c&c shared by Marcus. Pours dark, ruddy brown with a tan head. Aroma of plums and oaky wood. Med + body or better. Flavor is plum, oak, red berry and a touch of Brett, I think. Quite delicious. Recommended.
