Pours a dark dark amber, basically brown unless held up to the light where you can see the weed hues. Nice khaki head that leaves some sticky lacing.
Aromas begin with plenty of sour funk. Cranberry, cherry, must, leather, oak and vinegar are all prevalent, but there is no one major wow smell here, but that is not a bad thing. All of the various smells are well integrated and mix well with each other; if I had to pick one I would say cranberry and oak are the dominating slightly over the others.
The tastes however are really dynamic. Initially I get the sour cranberry, raspberry and sour cherry flavors but then get a nice solid brown ale matinees, featuring caramel and milk chocolate and some toffee. Finish heads back to the Brett with some oak, leather, minimal vinegar and lemon head sourness.
The mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with medium-to-low carbonation but both fit the style well. Finish is tart and crisp which is also perfect for the style. ABV is not evident; would have confused it for a 6%ABV sour if I didn't/couldn't read the bottle.
Overall this beer wowed me to be honest. It is the first sour beer I have really really enjoyed and would want to have again. Although it came at a high price tag, it was definitely worth it in my opinion. The Bruery and Cigar City continue to impress me beer after beer and continue to be industry leaders in innovation and quality. Time to search out for ISO:FT now to compare.

Burgundy colored, a little darker than that even, dark red/brown, 1/5" off white head. Aroma was heavy oak and cedar, sour, dark guava fruit, plum.
Lots of wood in the mouthfeel and taste on this one. HIdes alcohol well, similar to Consecration, not as much alcohol though. Leather. Cedar. Oak. Dark cherry. Cranberry.

A - Pours a red mahogany colored body with a one finger fizzy light khaki head. No lacing or retention to this.
S - Light whiff of cranberries and leather at first. Develops into oak and some vinegar.
T - Oak and tart juicy cranberries at the front. Midway I'm getting leather and brown sugar. The finish a little sweet. Not as acidic as previous reviews say.
F - Light bodied and light carbonation. Was hoping for more carbonation here.
O - I imagine age has smoothed the rough edges on this. Very well refined.
