Bottle @ Avery Sour Fest 2014. Pours a milky yellow appearance with an off white head. Another really dank, dry-hopped sour aroma. Some grapefruit, garlic, lemon, and onions also in the nose. Pretty juicy, white wine, dank, grapefruit flavor. Finishes somewhat tart and hoppy. Really big flavor - maybe too big.

From a 75 cl bottle shared at home. Opened a gusher. Pours a cloudy copper with a thick ecru head. Flavors of grapefruit, oak, caramel and booze. Strong boozy finish with lots of bitterness.

Bottle - Cherry, chocolate and oak. Cloudy dark brown with a thin head. Tart cherry and some dark malt, close to a Flemish Red but

I like the original iteration of the beer okay, so when I saw this on sale I figured I would give it a shot - oily black pour - not head to speak of - looks almost completely still - nose of newly emptied whiskey barrels (charred oak, whiskey), raisin, anise, plum, bittersweet chocolate - slick mouthfeel, minimal to no carbonation - flavor I fairly sweet date, anise, tamarind - somewhat boozy whiskey, but not overpowering - moderate oak - some balancing spiciness, damn wood bitterness, and some tannic/tart character - however, it is still a whiskey barrel RIS, so there is the expected heat in the finish and sweetness gets a bit much after the first glass, but this is quite good - good for a small glass after dinner - not so much for me to finish by myself before bedtime - god, I’m getting old.

Sample from swingtop bottle at the Ale Wine & Spirits beer tasting on 10/16/2013: Brownish-black pour with a medium foamy tan head that dissipates gradually to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and subtle rum. Full-bodied with flavors of chocolate malt, oak and buttery rum. The finish is sweet with a chocolate and rum aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Draft at beers made by walking. Pours dark amber with off white head. Nose and taste of berry, honey, cocoa and light malt. Mild tartness. Clean. Medium body.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with tan brown head. Nose and taste of wood, rum, roast chocolate, vanilla and dark fruit. Medium body.

Hazy orange with a short fizzy off white head. Tart and spritzy with a bit more body than typical saisons

Bottle at cfobes tasting. Dont know who nrought it but thanks. Caramel, roasty nuts and a little light chocolate. Very good.

Flip top 750 - slight gusher - dark ruby pour - thick tan lace - nose of doughy yeast, dark fruits (plum, raisin), cherry skins, light earth/oxidation, moderate Bordeaux notes, some oak and spice - there is a little bit of acetone and vinegar underneath it all, though - soft carbonation - medium body - fairly sweet up front, with some toffee, plum, currant - moderate dusty yeast, dough, and spice through the middle - medium sharp acid and moderate oak in the finish - some nice stuff happening, but it’s a bit messy - alcohol is well-masked, though - meh, it’s drinkable enough, I guess - however, this is the fourth beer I have had from this brewer, and three of the four have been unimpressive - I think I’m close to writing them off.
