The first release of this sour and funky beer series is Brett Stock Ale. This Brett beer was inspired by 19th century British Old/Stock Ales which utilized a secondary fermentation of Brettanomyces. This take on an almost extinct classic was aged in heavily rinsed whiskey barrels for seven months with Brett C. before bottle conditioning. Complex fruity and earthy aromas suggest hints of funk and give way to rich malty flavors of stone fruit, white chocolate, plums, raisins, and dark cherries. Brett Stock Ale has notes of bananas foster, vanilla, and wild berries, as well as port and sherry, all with a pleasing rustic undertone and almost no acidity. The flavors in this beer will continue to develop over time, making it a great bottle to add to the cellar.

Poured from a 375 ml bottle into a Boulevard Smokestack Stemmed Tulip
The beer pours a murky dark amber/brown/ruby color with a small loose off white head that recedes quickkly leaving behind just a crown that lingers throughout the session.
The nose is moderately tart and fruity. Fairly light with notes of raisins and dark fruits.
The flavor is surprisingly light and earthy with a funky brett character. Like the nose you get raisins, plums, and dates. Pleasantly sweet with a dry finish. Bright and funky, medium/light bodied and lightly carbonated.
I have had this beer in my cellar since around 2018 when I got it as an extra in a trade. Very nice and inviting, it makes me wish I had another.
