4 ounce draft pour at Bluejacket poured into a snifter. Specially poured from the back compliments of Josh Chapman, thanks! Pours a mostly opaque dark caramel brown with off-white head. Aromas of citrus, spice, light funk, Brett. Tasting notes of bitter notes, floral notes, citrus, light Brett. Medium body with a dry finish. Pretty nice now, the Brett still seems a bit young but I’m sure this will be even better with some age.
