On tap at bocktown. First let me say that if this is near 14%, I’d shit. It’s tastes more like 6%. Darker with a foamy head. Sweeter aroma with a touch of wild in the olfactory. Head fades rapidly. Odd medicinal feel but not in yer face alky. Some spices are readily apparent. Pleasant warming sensations down the throat. Barely any co2. Leathery at times near the finish. Perhaps it gets a little difficult in the end. Could not drink 2 of these, fer sure. It would be nice to get a bottle of this and age it for 10 years.

Bottle thanks to Art. Pours clear reddish hazel, small creamy beige head that quickly dissipates to a ring but then sticks around to contribute to ambiance and lacing. Aroma is quite pleasant, blackberries, tart cherry, oak tannins, a bit vinous, some musty earth, but no real funk. Flavor is initially a bit sweet, then fading to a light plus tartness, lots of blackberry and oak, a hint hint hint of funk, vinous. Faintest of vinegar tones accompany the onset of tartness, a bit harsher than the best. Quite a bit of residual sugar here as well. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. All in all a nice effort.

Bottle at clockworks would never have guessed this was an American beer by the name. Orange blossom nose and pepper. Tstes of orange blossoms, honey, earth, bread, cherries, musk, pepper and Brett. Odd one but enjoyable.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy orange amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out muted pithy blackberries - that's about it. Flavour brings out muted blackberries, some oak and pithiness. Not very complex but very clean and pleasant. Okay.

22 oz. bottle, pours a clear amber orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright raspberries - not much else. Flavour is heavy on the raspberries, with light sweetness and only slight sourness. Much better than the blueberry. Still not overly complex. Decent.
