Thanks to hopdog for this brew, get all the cool stuff from Steve. Fortunately, the wax comes off rather easily. The beer was poured carefully and made only a small head. The beer is a very dark amber color, not shining at all, just dark cannot see through it until I look at it in the light. In the light, I still can’t see through it but can see in it a bit; some carbonation bubbles in there shooting up to the surface. The aroma is pretty strong with an earthy and subdued cherry-pit brettiness. Its cool with the surrounding dark-soggy bread Belgian maltiness. Its not woody or acetic, just earthy yet lightly wild. Some light, non-tart strawberry as well. The flavor has a very nice dark, earthy sweetness from the malts added to it. This mixes just very beautifully with the the other aspects and gives the flavor a different dynamic from the beer. This also provides good reason for decent age-ability. Just a bit of an herbal and drying brett at the end, The bottom of the bottle shows the bottle conditioning with thick brewpub/homebrew dregs. The mouthfeel is medium with an average carbonation and a lightly tickling feel at the back of the throat. This is good stuff, not overly one-dimensional with brett being just one aspect and a solid malt character.
750mL red wax and capped brown bottle in a Selins Grove 10th Anniversary rounded goblet.
