Bottle thanks to someone. Pours with a hazed brown body with minimal head. Aromas of chocolate, dust, wood, earthy, splinters. Flavors are cocoa and acidic. Creamy white chocolate. Fruity and dry. Really a strange beer, not sure if it works.

Tasted at the big “SeaBass has got to go” tasting and big thanks to askofficerfriendly for this one. Pours kind of amber with ruby copper hues and off white head. The aroma is a bit of grapefruit hops, some spicy hops, sweet malts, mild caramel and some molasses too. The taste has a tasty mix of prunes and molasses and then going toward sweet bourbon and just an hint of wood about midway. To the finish I get the addition of muted aged pine hops, some sugary sweet malts, more bourbon and a sense of oak where the bourbon begins to get a bit harsh but still totally in control and largely smooth and yummy. Deep into the after taste notes of caramel candy, pine hops and grapefruit linger on and on and force you to go back from another taste.

Bottle thanks to hopdog. Poured a clear amber brown with a grayish brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a combination of light fruit and chocolate with underlying notes of slight funk, tart fruit and nuttiness. Flavor had an almond nuttiness that was joined by funk, tart fruits and a nice light chocolate note.

750mL sent to me by mj a while ago. Bottled on 2/15/2009 and consumed on 12/09/10, 19 months old. Pour is dirty murky brown with no head, just some bubbly lacing. Aroma is sour (a pickle-like sourness) brett and vinegar mix (not overly acetic). Its a dill-like tart and sour beer and not much else. Flavor is less acetic and a more soft sourness. I get no chocolate or vanilla or anything else intended by this beer. Its pretty drinkable for the beer, just one sided and messy in that category. In hindsight, mj got the better end of this trade enjoy those Saison Brett bottles.

750 mL bottle courtesy of kramer. Brewed 2007, bottled 2008. It seemed I liked this a good deal more than the people I shared with, though it did have its flaws. Pours a slightly hazy strawberry red color with a medium sized creamy light brown head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, toffee, butter, oak and some vinegar notes. The taste is toffee, apples, vinegar, chocolate, caramel, butter and some faint tannic notes. Medium bodied.

Location: Bottle at Max and Andy's Fantasy Tasting, 5/1/10
Aroma: The nose is has sour notes, bretty, some tart lemon, wood, and other fruity notes
Appearance: It pours into the glass a hazy orange-yellow color with an off-white head
Flavor: The taste is slightly sour (slight puckering), funky, and some fruity sweetness too
Palate: The body is medium, but a touch on the thin side, the carbonation is fairly soft
Overall Impression: Overall, I found this one to be a pretty solid example of the style. This was a pretty good sour ale to me, something I'd drink again for sure.
