750mL bottle drunk 8/18/18.
Lightly gushing, chestnut and mahogany brown beer with strong ruddy currents and a dark beige with rich butter tinged head atop showing moderate-to-strong carbonation. Sediment stirred up from gushing but otherwise clear.
Nose is very interesting and different. Rum raisin sits lightly in there, with sweet toffee mixing with light lactic and acetic acids. Strong oak undercurrent, though it's not toasty, thankfully. Vanilla, bread, cereal and very fruity, almost tart coffee-like notes (must be the cascara) with a strong dried cherry, prune and fig-like character. Not too much acid, nor does it seem jumbled. I like that it's a dark or amber sour without any big balsamic-like notes. While there's acetic acid here, it's light and just another aspect of the beer.
In the mouth it's soft, oily-to-malty with an oaky flavor of old wood mixing with cherry, cinnamon, rum, vanilla and cereal. Tartness is strong throughout but balanced pretty well by the malt and earthy, fruity flavors. Tight, natural carbonation and appropriate attenuation. A touch of alcohol and sourness lingers, but this is lovely, interesting stuff.

750mL bottle drunk 5/18/18.
Huge amounts of carbonation leads to gushing and produces a hazy, beige-earthy-amber body. Large butter-colored head shows great retention.
Amazing tropical fruit in the nose shows a wonderful Brett expression that has blended seamlessly with the wine. Cereal, brass, guava, strawberry and chardonnay all enter the mix and produce a bright, spicy-at-times character. No big toasted oak notes and the malt seems nicely attenuated, while the Brett, though obviously hard at work, does not come off messy/soapy/bready.
Excellent body with a firm malt presence despite the strong wild yeast presence. Cereal grains provide both texture and interesting flavor with just a hint of sourness to balance the earthy, sweet maltiness. Lingering melon, white grape, strawberry-lime...unique and incredibly good.
