Pours a straw from a bottle. Hay aroma along with some pine and pineapple notes. Flavor is mostly piney hops with grass, bitter. Good beer.

2008 750mL bottle drunk 8/25/16.
Another casualty of my prior "Let’s age everything!" syndrome that I very much regret. This certainly couldn’t be getting any better, so I figured I may as well open it and get it over with, expecting a probable drainpour. Well, I couldn’t have been more shockingly wrong....The cork comes out with still a good, audible pop and the beer pours a large, beige head with a dark bronze-dark amber colored body with auburn highlights. Good clarity and head retention.
The nose is phenomenally elegant with mild wood tannin softening any punchy acidity (of which there really isn’t any). Light red wine notes blend seamlessly with fruity, tart, bright brett notes and there’s no toastiness to the oak. As well, the malt has fully attenuated, but still adds an ever so slight roast character that comes off more like strong black pepper. Great balance, with just pure, lovely, fruity and tart brett.
The flavor holds up perfectly, as well, with light wine suggestions on top a substantial, yet well-attenuated body. Dark malts are noticeable on the finish, adding a light roastiness. Cranberry seems to have passed, though there is some tanginess/tartness and boisterous fruitiness that signify remnants of it. Regardless, the brett here is so well-developed and the wine and wood character so gentle and elegant that it matters little how much craberry is left. Still shocked how good this was....and all that from just a single wine barrel with schwarzbier and bugs added.

Pours a copper from a bottle, thin white head quickly dissipates, minimal lacing. This is rather bland and watery, nose of caramel and biscuit, but only faintly. Not bad, just not anything.

Pours a near black brown. Not much going on in the nose, a slight burnt toast. Flavor is a hit of burnt sugar before settling into the most bitter coffee you’ve ever had. Good beer.

Pours a rather hazy dark amber that on close inspection is kind of a muddy almost yellow-green. Aroma is a slight caramel, flavor is soap. Just not a well-put together beer unfortunately.

Pours a somewhat hazy (turbid) amber. Lemony aroma, sort of Pine-sol flavor, very bitter, like quinine level bitter. Okay beer.

Pours a golden amber from a bottle. Some citrus/grapefruit, settles into more of a lemon in the mouth. Big bitterness too. Okay beer.

Pours a pale straw from a tap. Big sweet pale malt taste and aroma, not corny like a macro, but like clear corn syrup. Meh.

Pours a reddish amber from a bottle. Bit of a tropical fruit aroma, but piney flavor shines through more. Slight metallic aftertaste. Good beer.
