Big thanks to markwise for hauling tons of beer across the country to GABF and to share on our wonderful beer bus tour on Friday. This puppy poured mahogany with a tan head of foam. The aroma is interesting with coffee, earthy malts, some mild fruity ester notes like red apples and grapes and then some cinnamon spice. The taste has the wine barrel tartness right from the start and moves into lesser amounts of roasted malts, ripe red apple wedges and a bit of yeasty spiciness. Cool stuff.

Shared by the guys on the brewbus, thanks! Pours a murky brown color with a small tan head. A very odd nose that could be described as fecal notes, or something akin to overripe fruit. A sour fruity mix with some vinous notes, a bit of earthy saison, funky almost. Interesting. I’d like more.
