Draft - Orange, caramel and a bit of booze. Cloudy copper orange with a thin white head. Sweet caramel, orange and a bit of booze. Like a Barleywine with the big malt build. Nice, and a direct relative of Big Nose.

Draft - Raspberry and salt, but more fruity than tart. Light pink with a thin white head. Raspberry and a long lingering salty finish. No real tartness, more a salty jam. The fruit ruined this I think.

Draft - Sweet wheat and light lemon. Pale yellow with a thin white head. Light sweet lemon, like cool aide. Much too sweet for me. Draft at brewery - Banana and clove. Still quite a bit of lemon sweetness, but finishes much better.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a near clear dark brown with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of smoke and a bit of leather note with some dark grains and a bit of roasted malts. Flavor has the same notes of smoke and leather backed by dark grains and roast.

Sampled @ Hunahpu Day 2014. Pours hazy yellow color with white head. Aromas of yeast and spices with some brett coming through. Lightly funky flavor with brett, spicy yeast and some fruitiness. Medium body with average carbonation. The brett has dried this one out compared to the regular version. I enjoyed this one slightly better.
