I like this one, its weird but also unique, probably this is not how this beer was supposed to turn out, but its enjoyable and refreshing.

330 ml bottle shared by Werckmeister, thanks!
Dark amber to copper, slightly brownish, hazy body, with a tiny, light beige head.
Aroma with heavy barrel notes, Brett, citrus candy, orange, lemongrass, basement, horse blanket.
Taste follows this, with the barrel notes more balanced, but with some harsh bitter notes instead.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes a bit harsh, bitter, dry, wooden, sour, citric, a bit yeasty, subtly sweet, a bit piney.
Interesting, but a bit unbalanced in my opinion. Quite dominant barrel notes and slightly harsh notes in the taste. Drinks a bit heavy. Overall unique stuff, but I’ve had better Brett ales.

Keg at RB Best Festival, 31/01/16. Hazed orange amber with a decent off white cap. Nose is caramel malt, light tropicana, subtle brett. Taste comprises tangerine, more subtle brett, trace of pine, leafy hop. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with earthy hop bitterness. Ok but brett IPA’s rarely win out.

z butelki cytrusy i troszeczkę whiskey, super połączenie, nigdy bym nie powiedział, że zapach amerykańskich chmieli i whisky będzie się komponował (tak jak imo nie komponuje się wędzonka z nimi), ale jednak jest świetne. W tych cytrusach troszeczkę czuć kwaśność. Po nalaniu zaskakująco klarowne, (jak na widawe), aromat ze szkła degustacyjnego jeszcze lepszy. Przez posmak whiskey, czuć po przełknięciu bardziej taki alkohol bourbonowy niż goryczkę, odczucie alkoholu ejst trochę ponad to 6, a goryczka wydaje się być bardziej alkoholowa niż chmielowa, ale to może taki efekt beczki. Piwo (dla mnie na szczęście) nie jest kwaśne i bretty w zasadzie są bardzo delikatnie wycuzwalne. Raczej jest to dobra ipa wlana do świeżej beczki po amerykańskiej whiskey/bourbonie. Połączenie whisky, trochę drewnianej taniniczności (ale raczej w rudymentach) z wyraźnymi cytrusami jest rewelacyjne i naprawdę ciekawe. Jeśli ktoś jeszcze nie pił IPA leżakowanego w beczce po bourbonie to jest to pozycja obowiązkowa.! Po ociepleniu w smaku jest trochę popcorn może był equinox? data na etykiecie 31.03.2016

Tap at RateBeer Best 2016. It pours black with a bubbly, light tan head. The aroma is smoky with some peat and tobacco. The flavor is also full of peat smoke, juicy tobacco, campfire smoke and light tartness. Roast near the finish. Barrel notes are covered by the peat smoke. Fully bodied and rich for the ABV. I usually don’t like peat smoked beers (not sure if this is, but it tastes like it) but this one is pretty rad. Well done.

Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Pine and light brett aroma with barrel notes. Pine and light grapefruit flavor with light whiskey notes and light brett. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Pine and grapefruit linger with some brett and barrel. A bit muddled.
