750mL bottled Apr 2023, batch 1, drunk 10/8/23. Clear light raspberry-rosé. Pink head sits at cover. Mellow as hell, with no aggressive acidity. Heavily mineral and big raspberry essence. The second use fruit really takes the sharp acidity out of the raspberry. Soft, good malt character, quite dry with tasty raspberry and juicy cherry. Low sweetness from the fruit as well. Mineral, Brett and fruit with mild flavors and wonderful balance.

Pours light gold into a stein. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Dark multigrain and straw aromas. Crisp with earthy multigrain and a slight fruity funk front to back. Lasting hay and continued funk finish.

Pours oily black with a thin tan head. Aroma of coffee, and toasted nuts. Taste has loads of coffee beans, dark chocolate, some toasted grains. Palate has lingering grainy notes, more coffee, some resin and nondescript oils that linger on the nose. Pretty good.

Brewery draught, 9/15/23. Heavily hazy, bright brass-golden-maize. Large, fluffy, white head, good retention. Soft sulfur and other various mineral with bright pineapple and maybe even a hint of coconut spice. Seems Strata-like, though there's also got to be some NZ hop(s) in here too on account of the sulfur-mineral. Soft, balancing, white bread and biscuit malts, clean and fruity yeast finish. Bright and with a pop of zesty acidity giving pine, pineapple and lemon impressions. Some white wine, quite juicy though the bitterness remains on the finish. Biscuity malt texture could use just a touch more soft/sweet honey to balance this assertive bitterness and strong pineapple character.

Brewery draught, 9/14/23. Clear, bright blonde-brass. Small, white head quickly to ring. Lambic-redolent nose is funky as hell but otherwise mellow. No giant acetic acidity and the lactic acid is dulled. Some fruity brett and good, gently assertive white wine character. Farmhouse is easygoing and gently sulfury, maybe a bit of nitrogen compounds in there too. Bright, tart, malty, good dryness. Assertive grape character with oak, light honey and biscuit and moderate lactic acidity on the finish that is awash in grape flavor. Not overdone, though. Farmy and interesting.

Brewery draught, 9/15/23. Inky, thick, dark. Tan head hangs around cover briefly. Nose is so frickin' rich and mellow, wow! Salted, roast peanut, silky chocolate, fudge, vanilla, bright, spicy bourbon, hints of roast and somehow no booze. In the mouth it's near perfect. The chewy, syrupy, thick, rich texture of the contemporary super Imperial stout yet without excessive sweetness and with no alcohol noted. Beautiful waves of bourbon and rum spice with no excessive roast. Tons of salinity, peanut, graham cracker, rich fudge and caramel. Hint of dark fruit on the finish. This is absolutely stunning.
