Bottle/Fest. A- Sewer water, cow manure, fruity, oak, slightly sour. A- Brown color, murky liquid, tan head. T- Fruity, oak, whisky. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, boozy finish. O- The aroma on this was downright putrid. Not sure if they dropped the bottle in a feedlot or what. Minus that and the appearance looking the same, the flavor was fair. Lots of oak and booze.

A hazed reddish amber ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light aniseed, banana esters, light rye, treacle, alcohol warmth, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light fruity esters, light cloves, banana esters, light treacle, very nice and smooth. On tap at Syracuse Winter Brewfest 2017.

750 c&c from Wine & Cheese. Pours hazy coppery gold with creamy off-white head. Aroma seems a mix of pomegranate and treacle. Med body or so. Flavor is very lightly sour/woody with pomegranate and treacle. It gets earthy along the edges of the tongue. It’s very smooth, neither dry nor bitter, just fruit/earth/mild sour/wood. Quite a break from the common ales.

750mL bottle, undated shared by Chris on 3/26/16.
Large off-white head tops a deep orange-copper body with moderate clarity and retention.
Very nutty, barrel-influenced nose is full of wood and at the same time tons of actual merlot character. Vanilla, black pepper, alcohol and very poignant, fruity, red grape character. Not much in the way of saison and it would be hard to discern the style blindly.
The flavor is even moreso dominated by the merlot. Nutty tannin, dry wood and heavy, heavy merlot character gives little window to find any actual beer character before the palate is overwhelmed and fatigued. Bready malts and moderate sweetness with some light alcohol sharpness and heavy esters. Moderate to high carbonation. Nope.

750 ml Bottle. Amber color aroma is funky red grape, astringent oak, loads of grapes.
Medium oak, nice tingly mouthfeel. Way to much red wine, too much time in barrel. The finish is astringent. Not sure how long this was in the barrel but it should have been pulled sooner.
