On tap at Cork ’n’ Keg, Raymond, NH in tulip glass. Aroma is strong floral, resinous hops. Appearance is clear, copper-brown without sparkle, minimal head with fair retention, trace lacing. Taste is balance floral sweetness with bitter. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, average carbonation, and bitter dominant finish. Overall, strong aroma and flavor, nice appearance and palate, a wee bit to the bitter side for my tastes.

2015 750 mL, drunk 11/28/15.
Opaque black body has a large tan head that sits at cover.
Certainly a unique nose, with toffee, anise, light espresso and some liquor. Very dry, but never would I call it bretty. Though of course, brett primary beers exhibit much less "brett" character than those w brett added to secondary or after.
Lots of black licorice and other varied phenols keep it really dry. Earthy, dry, vanilla bean, clove. Good, with a tight carbonation, but just so punishingly dry and astringent. Retronasal a bit of rocket fuel and plastic. Awesome idea and innovative, but needs some savory and sweet malty characteristics to balance.

750 ml bottle shared by Willrunforbeer. Pitch black with some lasting tan head. Aroma is crushed almonds, earthy malt, a different chocolate nuance.
The flavor comes off very, very different. The Brett is not even noticed in the flavor with the almond notes coming out again in the finish. It’s earthy and a bit different but I like how different it is. Body is fuller and dense. Funny thing is with how off the wall it is, it doesn’t make it easy to rate or describe.

From a 6-liter bottle. Split 2 ways.
A - A good dark black to brown with a little bit of see-through bits. a 1 finger head, espresso color.
S - The nose is really interesting. It’s unlike any stout I’ve had. It has this sweetness with a funky smell with cocoa, even some citrus. all kinds of really interesting aromas going on
T - This is really interesting. There’s this very medicinal sticky taste that is from middle to finish. that part is really hard to make me want to take another sip. Up front, very distinct chocolate with funk, woody charred acidity like a burnt tar taste.
M - Dense, oily, thick
O - Oh boy, this one was really hard to rate. I’m even getting some gasoline taste as it warms up. WTF is wrong with my mouth. Did I eat something awful to make this taste so rough. Sorry Dave. I’m going to try to get a bottle to have this again with a fresh palate because I’m probably not doing it justice.

Poured from bottle thanks Willrunforbeer dark cola pour nice beige head retention. Aromas of chocolate malt maple and light funk. Taste is similar to aroma with a lingering bitterness. An interesting brew.

750 ml growler filled at the brewery 21 hours ago. Pale yellow color, very thin head. Aroma is bright with Centennial citrus and pine. Really tempting.
Although this is dry hopped, the flavor carries over the dry hopping. The wheat base is nice with just a very mild sour hint that is quickly balanced by the hops. Limes and lemons to boot! The texture becomes dry with some citrus rind. Juicy texture with light hint of salt. Wow! Now this is what I was craving! I could drink 2 liters of this without any problems. Very light and flavorful.

Sample at the brewery and also a growler. Ambe / orange color with thin head, steady carbonation level. Aroma is sweet with molasses hints and pumpkin inards. The flavor has a good amount sourness through the center. The finish has the sweetness that is counterbalanced by the sourness.
Overall this is just really odd. It just is not cohesive flavor wise for me. I wanted to like it; if that helps.
