Bottle contributed in absentia by Felipe - thanks! Bit of a gusher on opening, but not bad. Pours cloudy hazel with a medium tan head and good lacing on the glass. Aroma is light rum, toffee, raisin, funky basement. Flavor is medium sweet, lightly funky, oak, vanilla and some nuttiness. Lightish body, high effervescent carbonation. Good effort!

Bottle @mini SARA tasting - thanks Brian! I must admit I approached this one with some trepidation. Opened in the sink and indeed it was a bit of a gusher, but nothing crazy. Poured cloudy golden with a huge creamy off-white head that dissipated relatively quickly for its size leaving good lacing. Aroma is indeed very funky, cheese, foot, basement, some sharp mustiness, fruit skins. Flavor is light sweet, quite funky, oaky with a brandy finish. Taste is considerably better than aroma. Light body and quite dry. Not bad.

Bottle@ a mini SARA share - thanks Nolen! Pours opaque black with a small tan head and good lacing. Aroma has a bit of funk, and lots of roastiness underneath. Perhaps a touch of coffee, a bit of raisin. I am not getting the chocolate that others notice. Flavor is medium sweet, lightly funky and medium sour. Funkiness opens up a bit as the beer warms. Lightish body, high effervescent carbonation. Nice beer.
