750mL bottled 03/04/22, drunk 10/2/22. Clear blonde-brass-golden. Large, well-retained, white head. Nose is funky and bretty with strong wheat-like nuttiness and hints of honey and biscuit. Excellent aroma strength with a great balance of brett and lacto and no acetic. Soft and malty, very wheaty with a chewy texture as a result. Moderate lactic acid is well-aged/expressed and brett adds a fruity livliness. Funky and clean with no alcohol or flaw.

12oz can, batch 2, 2022, drunk 9/29/22. Dark mahogany, clear. Tan head to ring. Sweet caramel and chocolate with vanilla and light bourbon. Roast is soft and mild with no alcohol or flaw. Raisins, prunes, etc... Vanilla, prune, chocolate and bourbon with a soft, medium body somewhat thinned out by alcohol. Still not in love with Fox Farm's Imperial Stouts/Porters, as they're just so brutally dry and alcoholic (though not sharp/hot alcohol). Just too much bitter roast licorice, intense dark chocolate.

Armsby draught, 9/24/22. Clear bronze-brass. Little/no head. Soft and citrusy with spice and mild funk. Pale malts are well-attenuated. Grape pomace is extremely mild. Clean, aromatic, delicate. Soft and okay with hints of grape juice and light barnyard. Quite a bit going on. Mineral, lemon, Gruner, and lingering oak and acidity balanced by honey and biscuit from the malt. Clean, no alcohol noted.

750mL bottled March 2022, batch 3, drunk 9/22/22. Dark cherry-raspberry, lightly hazy with a small, pink head. Yarrow-and-sumac nose with lemon, raspberry, acid and juice. Tart lactic notes with mild, chalky and mineral-rich fruit skins. Soft and mild, with easygoing fruit and acidity. Similar flavor. Lots of sumac and yarrow with soft, honey-like malt and mild lactic acidity. Fruits are chalky, mineral-rich, as usual for second run. Easygoing, clean, tart and snappy with a big minerality and easygoing, well-attenuated, big malt depth.

Lulu's draught, 9/22/22. Drab/muted brass-bronze. Off-white head is small, moderately retained. Light coconut and pineapple doesn't seem overbearing. Lemon, spice, pine and mild tropical notes blend in nicely. Sparse but supportive malts and no resin, flaw or alcohol noted. Coconut, soft malt and moderate spice, almost curry-like. Pineapple, light citrus, light honey and a touch of caramel. Very soft, malty texture with good attenuation. Very clean. Weirdly good.

Canned 8/10/22, drunk 9/19/22. Heavily hazy, peachy-passion fruit juice with a small, thin, white head. Smells like passion fruit the way Tree House does it; which is to say, dry, somewhat acidic, funky/earthy. High mineral, low-to-moderate white wine-like Nelson with no sulfur and little/no pine. Soft, honey-accented malts seem well-attenuated, with fruity, but clean yeast and no resin or alcohol. Bitterness still balances easily the softly honey-like malts with well-attenuated malts and a medium to medium-light body overall. Nelson is full of passion fruit and moderate mineral. Juicy, pine-accented, no sulfur, low white wine. Maybe a bit passed its prime here, but it's certainly clean and dry and what hop flavor and passion fruit character there is, is done well.
