Several glassed from a growler filled 3 hours previously. The pour is a hazed purple golden with a thin white head. Nice lace left on the glass. The aroma is lemon citrus, blueberry fruit, softly tart sour along with a fresh grain. Pedio appears as the beer warms. The taste is tart sour lemon Pedio, balanced nicely with the fresh blueberry fruit and the grain of the malt. The palate is light bodied with softer carbonation and the lingering tart sour finish. Crisp easy drinking Berliner.

750 ml bottle purchased at Lukas Liquors in Kansas City, Missouri. Bot on 11/17/15 printed on the bar code label. The pour is a slightly hazed orange golden with a well formed one inch off white head. Head falls slowly with nice lacing. The aroma is leather, funk, along with a bit of floral, though the aroma is mostly about the Brett. Very much an Orval nose. The taste is the dry leather funk of the Brett, along with a nice base of floral citrus hops. The flavors meld and integrate nicely. The palate is medium bodied, with soft natural carbonation and the dry Brett finish. Well executed, tasty beer. Wish I would have had this earlier as well to see the stronger IPA expression and compare the two.

~12 oz Tulip draft at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The Pour is a clear golden with a smallish white head.

Fruity tropical notes come out as the beer warms. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and a floral resin finish. Bit of alcohol heat in the aftertaste.

~14 oz Willebecher draft at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The Pour is a clear golden with not much of a white head. The aroma is sweet, honey some cracker. The taste is the sweet base grain, earth, mineral in the finish. The palate is light to medium bodied with low carbonation and a sweet finish. Solid for a gluten free beer, cool to see a brewery this size do a GF beer.

~14 oz Willebecher draft at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The Pour is a slightly hazed copper brown orange with a minimal white head. The aroma is cereal grain, light toast and bright citrus. The taste is a fresh clean blend of the bright citrus hops and the cereal grain, and toasty malt. The palate is light to medium bodied with natural carbonation and a clean mineral finish. I liked this, well done.

22 oz. bottle got in a trade with GrandaddyKC, thanks Brad! No bottle date anyplace. Pitch black in color with thin white head in a snifter. Aroma is mild whiskey on top of caramel and weak chocolate.
The flavor is caramel dominate with very weak chocolate and the lightest note of bourbon in the finish. The Medium to lighter body but about right for the style. I never would have guess that this was over 11 percent ABV which is a big plus. I think this would help with some added roasted malt to help cut the caramel overload. Still happy to have tried it.

Several glasses from a growler filled the previous day at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a black dark brown with a well formed 1 inch khaki head. Nice retention and lace. The aroma is clean roast coffee along with caramel sweet and a bit of pine to the back. The taste matches nose, with clean roast coffee flavor, a bit of cream sweetness and pine hop giving it brightness. The palate is medium bodied with active carbonation and a dry roast finish. Solid.

Several glasses from a 32 oz growler filled 4 hours previously at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a clear golden copper with not much of an off white head. The aroma is big spice, almost potpourri like with nutmeg, cinnamon, floral, herbal. The taste is the same, with all of the traditional holiday ale spicing present. A bit harsh initially, though as the beer warmed the flavors came together and integrated nicely. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and the pleasant spice finish. Nice take on style.

750 ml corked and caged bottle purchased at Martin City Pizza and Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. Bot on 08/21/15 printed on label. The pour is light haze orange copper brown with a two inch frothy light tan head. Head falls with crackling. The aroma is boozy Bourbon, cherry fruit, and sweet caramel malt. The taste is a medicinal cherry, the boozy Bourbon, wood, and a bright sour acidity I was not expecting. The Abbey character of clove, sweet malt and yeast is present though certainly buried beneath the bourbon and sour cherry. The palate is medium bodied with active carbonation and the woody boozy acidic sour finish. Didn’t really come together for me - didn’t have the subtlety of barrel of other MCBC beers I have enjoyed.
