Sampled at RBSG06. Cloudy orange color with a small white head. Aroma of spice, salt, and a little smoke. Lovely sweet smoked flavor.

Had this tapped from a barrel at Spuyten Duyvil, and as I walked out to the biergarden out back, I ran into beastiefan2k sitting there enjoying the same brew - small world, as they say - anyway, this beer less poured out of the cask than it did slide out (it kind of looked like maple syrup getting tapped out of a tree) - pretty thick and oily - very sour, bready aroma (go figure), with some notes of overripe apples and this nearly overwhelming kind of yogurt smell - the "yogurt-ness" follows through to the flavor, and it took some serious getting used to - quite tart and extremely vinous, with tannic qualities I’ve only experienced in lambics - woody and chewy - really quite unique stuff, and at this point in my beer drinking "career," anything this original has to get high marks.

This was part of a great beer day. Had a Christoffel Blonde before it.
I am entering a beer that has been retired before it has even been released, amazing. This is the HW beer made with bread yeast in collaboration with the owner of Spuyten Duyvil. Had it, guess where... at Spuyten. Wooden cask poured into a wine glass. Pretty much looks like a dark apple cider (the regular kind). Absolutely no head and no carbonation. Smell is extremely unique - sour apple cider, bread and a hint of smoked meat. Taste is alchy-sour and cider-like. My girlfriend though it was horrific but I thoroughly found it interesting and original. I was told it was originally more carbonated. Actually, enjoyed this with Notalush and lets see how his view of it was...
Rerate - had it yesterday at the HW open house. Kegged now. The beer cleared up a lot, color got lighter. Still same tastes, not as sour though. Still lack of carbonation.
