Bottle at RBSG thanks to Jer. Pours a cloudy dark orange color with a medium white head. A big sweet malty nose, fruit and oak. The flavor is heavily a sugary sweet English style BW, huge dark caramel and dry wood, some fruity sweet elements. The Brett is adding tropical fruit and dust, just awesome.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark murky brown with no head. Nose brings out murky stone fruits and funky brett. Flavour is cloyingly sweet, with stone fruits, oxidation and candied sugar. Not really that complex. The brett is awkward here. Very strange beer. It's cool to sip but I wouldn't want much.

24/XII/13 - 75cl bottle @ De Hopduvel (Gent) - batch# 11 - BB: n/a (2013-1174) Thanks to Bobochamp for sharing the bottle!
Clear pale red brown beer, small irregular aery head, little stable. Aroma: caramel, vanilla, milk chocolate, bourbon, alcohol, some mocha, sweet malts. MF: soft to no carbon, medium to full body. Taste: alcohol, sugary, caramel, bourbon notes, some overripe banana, somewhat sweet, bit fruity. Can't tell the nectarines though. Aftertaste: caramel, bit metallic, banana, alcohol warming the throat, bit sugary, bitter hops, hint of mocha, bubble gum and fruity candy.
