On tap @ the brewpub on 10/2/09. Served in a tulip glass.
Pours a deep murky brown, topped with a thin layer of fizzy off-white head. Spotty lacing that just moderately clings to the sides of the glass. Funky Brett tartness really sticks out sharply here, with notes of cocoa, spice, and sweet wheat adding a sticky tang in the nose. Good bit of dry oak character to this as well.
The taste is sweet with just the lightest bits of fruit and spice. Brett and oak just dominate the profile, giving this a funky drying feel. Deuane is right, there is not much yeast activity at all in this anymore. Very interesting. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a light and creamy feel in the mouth. Dry and easygoing overall. Probably my favorite aspect of this.
After the great eveness of the Smokin' Amber Kegs Gone Wild that I had before this, this just couldn't compete. This profile geared much more towards the Brett and oak characteristics (especially in the taste), leaving the Dunkle flavors in the dust. Interesting but just not enough to hold my attention the whole way through the glass.

Pours a very deep, dark chestnut brown which is almost completely opaque with only the slightest dark mahogany edges when held to a light source and a one finger light beige head that quickly fades into a thin cap with decent retention. Not much lacing.
Sweet caramel malt aroma with hints of chocolate and toffee notes with a prominent funky brett presence.
Sweet, dry funky brett up front that provides a nice sour puckering feel without being too acidic. Very sharp and dry. This flavor is very prominent and overshadows the other flavors. If I tasted this blind I would never know it was wheat based. The bready yeast, caramel malt and toffee notes are very subtle and as mentioned above are completely overpowered by the dry funky brett. Very dry finish that is slightly puckering.
This was an interesting concept but turned out to be very one dimensional

A-Very deep, dark brown with a thin tan head that reduces to a thin veil and leaves spotty lace.
S-Lightly tart with notes of sour cherry and oak.
T-Dry, like brut champagne. Is there really hefe yeast in this? The brett must have eaten it all! Dry and tart with an oak finish. Merlot like notes in the drying finish.
M-Medium-light bodied and did I say it was dry? Lingering oak bitterness.
D-Interesting and oh, it's dry too! So dry and oaky--->nice! I couldn't drink a ton of this but to sit and enjoy and glass, yes!
