2013 bottling
Appearance: Pours clear and tea colored with a thin head; a spattering of lace emerges
Smell: Very oaky, with leather and plum tones; the Bourbon is not pronounced but is detectable
Taste: Acetic, from the outset, with the leather and plum flavors building; funky and oaky, through the middle; hints of Bourbon emerge, in the middle, but the finish is somewhat dry and somewhat tart
Mouthfeel: Medium body with low to moderate carbonation
Overall: Brewed in 2013 and well on its way out the door

Dark ruby red in color with lots of minuscule carbonation bubbles erupting from within. There's a fingernail of beige around half of the rim. The aroma is of horse blanket and cabernet. I'm tasting cabernet and brettanomyces. The mouth is highly carbonated and very dry.

2013 bottle pours an effervescent crmsin with a thumb of rapidly falling tan head. Zero head retention & lacing
S: Some sourness, raisins, dark fruits
T: Tart & sweet dark cherry, spme leathery & oaky dryness up front along with restrained acidity. Sour cherry & a little fig as this warms, along with dryness, even a little li-hing-mui. Finishes with much dryness, oakyness & leather together, also a little sour plum & cherry
MF: Medium body, subtle carbonation
Complex beer, not a easy-drinker, but true to style
