Midnight Brett gets its name from the Midnight Wheat we brew it with. The dark wheat gives it a deep, dark chocolate color. The aroma opens with fresh berries and sour cherries, and ends with a warm roastiness. Each sip offers smooth drinkability met with the zip of tart fruitiness on the palate. We brew this beer with 2-row, Midnight wheat, raw wheat, and rye malt. It’s hopped with a blend of Perle, Glacier, and Simcoe hops. We then add our house strain of local, wild Brettanomyces yeast. The yeast works its magic over the next eight months where the beer ferments in a stainless tank. Midnight Brett begs to be shared no matter the hour on the clock.

Eight ounce pour at Good Karma while in town for work. Nothing's changed except some new artwork, but the neighborhood continues to deteriorate.
Cold coffee pour, barely breathing.
Apple butter, soy, plum nose.
Mellow but complex bruin type. Soft & drying brett, medium-low acid, positive oxidation, cola & complex sherry flavors with a little extra plum on the tail.
Subtle but great.

ABC Roxy Benefit: Poured a brown with tan head. Aroma is tart fruits, mainly cherry and pungent nose overall. Taste is more tart fruit, yet has a malt backbone that keeps it from being over the top. Finish is a mixed sweet/sour, very interesting blend.

Bottle shared with Koelschtrinker, Beerhunter111 & Zlotta. Smooth sourish beginning. Fruity hints, sour horse blanket, fresh fruity but not too deep or sour. Very mild, too mild for a Brett-Ale. Smooth finish, not as deep or aromaful as it could have been.

Dunkel orange braune Farbe, geringe beige schaumkrone. Geruch nach reifen roten Früchten, leicht säuerlich, Brett. Geschmack ist mild säuerlich, rote reife Früchte, leicht holzig, sehr interessant.

On tap @ Barleycorn. Quite a dark looking one this, bronze brown in the glass with a tall really lasting and heavy lacing off-white head. Sweetish malty nose at first. It has both chocolate and nuts up front on the nose. A little bit of coffee and dark Belgian candied sugar. Like the aroma quite a lot, but I did not gent anything bretty at all to be honest. Makes up for it in the taste! Wow, what is this? It's thick and oily on the texture. If I didn't know better I'd say this was a 10+ percent bodied beer and it's smooth and almost creamy on the bubbles. Lots of coffee and dark types of malts here. It's a little chocolate wrappey but with a jammy undertone. Really sweetish and tasty. interesting and a great beer to kick of the NYC summer holidays 2015. Btw. did order a Session Brett, got a Midnight Brett. 08.06.2015
