Bottle thanks to bleeng at August tasting. Pours a cloudy brown with small off white head that quickly diminishes to nothing. The aroma is sour fruit and vanilla. Medium mouthfeel with oak vanilla and light sour finish. A complex sour ale from Springfield.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer. The aroma has notes of vinegar, malt, brettanomyces, and berries. The flavor is lightly acidic with notes of wood and malt, leading to a lightly tart finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Miver. Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, beige head. Intense aroma of Brett and bourbon. Medium body, woody accents, a little caramel, plenty of bourbon and a dry, slightly astringent, sulphurous and tart finish. Really delicious. 010509

750 ml bottle courtesy of beastiefan2k. Pour is slightly hazed ruby brown with a smallish off white head. Aroma of soft oak woodiness, some faint sour cherry odor. Taste is the oak wood, the sour cherries, and fairly evident alcohol. It’s mostly about the barrel. Bunch of tannin, some vanilla, butterscotch, wood, wood and a woody finish. This was decent enough, I give credit to Mueller for making this style. Thanks for sharing Eugene!
