Tasting at Erik's
Hazy red-amber color; gushing bottle. Off smell, yeast; highly carbonated, harsh mouthfeel, too much yeast, covering the caramel and malt.
Infected.

Dark amber, bit of haze. Thin head. The aroma is toasty with a little bit of hop fruitiness and a whiff of brettanomyces. There’s a bit of a chocolatey note, with more of that toastiness that seems to come from the rye. The hop aroma drops out, and there’s a fair bit of bitterness in the finish. The brett is kicking in, starting to thin the body out a bit, and lending...well...it’s a character that’s obviously not supposed to be there but I enjoy it anyway. A lucky accident, that we opened at just the right time.

Bottle - Light cedar and apple notes. Clearish Amber with a small beige head. Funky, caramel and some bitterness. A bit off but ok.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy reddish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and some stale bread. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt and stale bread. Light bittering hops. Something a bit off here. Not feeling this.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a near white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has a combination of bread and sweet grains with a hint of caramel underlying. Flavor has sweet grain, light caramel and a bit of stale bread.
