one of those bottles that's just been existing in my cellar for too many years...90% sure that I got this from Gary one day but who knows. decided to pop it with some others taking up space.

all in all its fairly one dimensional Brett at this point. has some sweetness from the belgian? qualities I suppose that's what it is but mostly just crisp brett. not bad not great just is.

Brettanomyces are very very very prevalent. A little too unbalanced on the tart side for my personal preference, but not bad

Bottle opened on 3.3.13

A - Pours a cloudy dark orange with an active light tan head that fades fast.

S - Brett, oak, lots of fruits. Slightly citrus, but apple and pear also.

T - Oaky and Brett mostly. The fruit is pretty much gone.

D - Good carbonation, light body with a dry finish.

O - Brett heavy, oak with a teasing nose. Dry in the mouth.

2007 vintage on tap at Kickbacks in Jax. Poured into a snifter. Golden body, very slight haze. Very little head with no retention and hardly any lacing. Aroma includes pineapple, tangerine, candi sugar, peach, caramel, and maybe a hint of brett. Taste also has a little brett, faint. Some sweetness in the form of tropical fruit and some coming from the residual sugars and from the aged flavor of the beer. Could be disappointing to someone looking to pucker up. Other than that, the beer is certainly interesting and quite tasty.
