Bottle shared at Belgian Chimipalooza, thanks! Hazy straw with a ring white head. Aroma of tart light fruits, citrus and Brett. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and light sour. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation.

750 ml capped bottle given to me by family for Father’s Day. Batch 4, Brewed and Barreled June 2015, Packaged January 2016, Bottle Conditioned according to the tag on the bottle. The pour is an orange darker golden with a small white head. The aroma is barrel upfront, followed close by citrus and a bit of grass. There is some of the funk Brett noticeable, particularly as the beer warms. The taste is bright citrus right away, blended nicely with the leather funk Brett and closes with oak wood. The barrel flavor is fresh oak tasting. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and the dry lingering funk Brett finish. Thank you for the excellent Father’s Day gift!

Poured from a 750 ml bottle dated 09/2015. Aroma is rather hop forward with a strong grapefruit and pine resin character. Some other citrus and tropical fruit notes. Moderately strong caramel notes with some lighter toffee and burnt sugar. Some woodsy hop notes as the beer warms. Pours a slightly hazy, auburn color with copper and brown hues and a large, thick, tan head that exhibits really nice retention. Moderately high lacing and medium length legs. Flavor has a moderately strong sweetness with a moderately strong bitterness to balance it out. Lots of caramel with some lighter toffee and burnt sugar notes. Some light toasted bread and cracker character. Medium light alcohol spice. Moderate hop notes with grapefruit, pine resin and woodsy notes. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent American barleywine. Lots of hop character, though an older style hop character. Decent malt profile with layers to of caramel complexity. Good bitterness to balance out the sweet malt notes.

Medium sweet flavour with more ripe, lightly tart lemon notes, old citrus rind, damp wood, hay, green apple skins. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Tangy and cleansing on the finish, with more lemon, just a touch of acetic acid, more hay, subtle woody dryness. Nice overall.
