375 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Reviewed from notes.
Appearance - No head, save a few bubbles. Deep red and mostly clear.
Smell - Fruity. Not sure I'd called it grapes. Strange chemical aroma. Very off-putting.
Taste - Much more grape-y. Slightly tart, but not really all that sour. Musty and bretty. A little medicinal.
Mouthfeel - Low carbonation. Light sourness, more brett than anything else.
Overall - Lots of grape in the flavor, but I would like it to be more sour.
Edit: A second try of this beer was much more sour and pretty nice. Numbers improved to reflect.

Consumed 10/17. Review from notes.
Amber red color. Little white head. Lots of wine notes. Big grapes. Light brett flavor. Oaky. Vanilla. Malty, but sour and tart. Red wine all around.

Big thanks to Alec Lopez for hooking me up with the VIP track set. Split with JLindros.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy brown with hardly any head and thin lacing/halo.
S - Aromas of funky brett, nice grape notes, light malt sweetness. Light buttery oak, pleasant but odd.
T - Taste is very tart, light sour grapes, brett funk, light oak. Kind of standard now a days...reminds me of oude tart or tart of dankness.
M - Mouthfeel is a bit thin, next to no carbonation.
O - Overall this beer was a bit messy, nice sour notes but really nothing special.
