Poured from the tap @ Container. Black with minimal beige head. Fairly bourbon forward, nice barrel notes despite being a little hot. Mild chocolate and roast underlies, but a little unbalanced. With some aging the bourbon should mellow out a bit. Will re-try in bottle down the road.

Tasting at Phill's, corked bottle
Pale blond colour, slightly hazy, with small persistent collar. Strong aroma, it's very funky, also a bit farty. Moderately acidic, lightly mineral, maybe grape skins, but no real complexity.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Clear light gold with small white head. Nose is quite nice and funky barnyard brett, but taste is fairly subdued with light minerally reisling, lacking follow through.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is quite wonderfully fragrant, with lots of barnyard funk—showcasing the brett nicely—with musty grape skins, and some oak. Flavour is much more acidic, with crisp grape skins, light funk, and a touch of oak. Acidic, grainy, mineraly—not great on the palate. The nose is much nicer than the flavour, which has little complexity and the acidity is too high given the lack of flavour complexity. Okay.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Hazy gold with minimal ring of white head. Quite acetic, balsamic, but still enjoyable.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very buggy, with plenty of acidity, oak barrels, and wine tannins. Flavour is extremely acidic, with enamel-stripping acidity, a vinous tang, and some bugs. Too acidic for me, but it has some depth. Decent.

Hazy, pale. No head. On the palate, lots of tartness, hints of brett. Definitely a puckering beer. Lots of wood, some balsamic notes, so it gets a little slick. This seems close to turning actually, bottled it off just in time.
