Madness & Civilization is a panorama of our barrel aging program—oak-aged beers that emerge from their individual silences to find structure and voice as a unified composition. This is the result of an unpredictable state of permanent happenstance—a dialogue with our evolving approach to blending that challenges convention and circumstance. Each release will include multiple threads and is likely to approximate the style of an imperial stout.
Release #4: Tragedy (et al) aged in Bourbon barrels for 24 months—with Cacao, Ancho and Chipotle.

Never had this fresh, therefore, unfortunately, this bottle was infected. Thanks to Ray for the share anyway. Stinky sour aroma, bad peppers. Taste was not intolerable, but definitely some tangy sourness going on that's not supposed to be there. Still some obvious pepper burn on the back end. Seems like it could have been a good beer at some point, but I guess I'll never know, unless they make it again.

This was the worst infection I have run into. I don't like sour dark beers in general, but this was just punishment.
