Bottled in Sept 2016 drank with 2.7 years on it
Poured from bottle into tulip, good 3 finger tan head, good retention and lacing. Clear amber in the glass, good looking beer. Good nose, some cinnamon, belgian esters, some underlying herbal/medicinal notes (can't put a name to them) and a good bit of funkiness on the nose. Taste is initially dark stone fruit, some grassiness, some belgian fruitiness and some mild cinnamon notes thru the middle. Finishes dry, almost like a big tannic cab. The brett had fun with this beer as it sat in my fridge for a few years. My Biggest regret was this was a one off, didn't get the 4 pack. Man this beer is complex. Sad that it seems to be a one off. Maybe I will run across some bottles of this sitting on the shelf somewhere, one can hope.

The Brett is strong with this one. From a 11.2 oz single, bottled almost 2 years ago, into a Tallgrass tulip, pours a hazy murky cinnamon with a massive 4 finger off-white head, great retention and good lacing. On the nose, I mainly get slightly medicinal brett, a little green apple, and some hints of spicy pepper and cinnamon, too. The nose gets better as it warms, but even so, while it is good it’s the least good dimension of the beer for me. Taste: starts off a little fruity, biscuity malts, then a little sharp spice, and then the medicinal Brett notes and herbal earthy hops jump in and kind of dominate...a little Belgian bubblegum sneaks in there too. Finishes lively and a little dry and bitter. Interesting offering that I enjoyed a lot!

L: pours bright amber and generates a ivory 3.5" foam cap that mounds up over the lip of the glass and has excellent retention

S: Belgian yeast aromas of fruit, cinnamon, and some grassy notes dominate.

T: starts with biscuit, spice, cinnamon, fruit, peach, and bubble gum building to a pleasant assertive bitter finish that squeezes out any hint of sweetness

F: incredibly creamy, mousse-like texture giving the beer a light airy feel with fine, soft carbonation

O: nicely balanced yet complex and layered and will only develop and improve as it matures

 

Big thanks to Wasatch for this funky treat

Pours darkest amber with red cast, big beige head that lasts, cloudy thickish look to it.

Layers of tart, ranging from berry tart to sharp lactic, are underlaid by righteous earthy and spicy funk. Hints of floral and honey sweet give it a delicious complexity. Med. strength, very alluring aroma.

Lactic tart fronts the parade with supporting cast of overripe peach, green apple, peppery spice, earthy funk, and sweet that never seems to show strongly but keeps the dry finish from being overdry. As it warms citrus pith and herbal bitter add complexity.

Highly viscous, med. carb., full bodied, with a heavyweight of a finish that stays clean.

Really tasty beer from master saison producers at Funkwerks. Highly recommended.

330ml bottle. 10/3/16 bottle date. Appearance: Deep amber, clear, with a thick, frothy off white head and great lacing. Aroma: Sour apple, grassy, and a distinct brett funkiness. A touch of cinnamon. Taste: Light malt sweetness, grassy, tart apple, and a really strong barnyard, horsey funkiness from the brett. Fairly strong bitterness. Mouthfeel: Light bodied with a fairly high carbonation Finish: Dry with a strong grassy, funky brett that lingers. Overall: With around 8 mths on this beer, the brett is aggressive and dominant in the aroma and flavor of the beer. Malt character is very low, and the dark amber color suggests there should be more there. Brett is really the showpiece of this beer, almost a little one dimensionally so.

Poured into a tulip a pretty nice cloudy brown color, pretty nice carbonation, with a really nice thick/creamy two-finger plus off-white head, which leaves some really nice thick/creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is really nice, malty, yeasty, slight funkyness, with some slight spicyness, cinammon. The taste is really nice, malty, yeasty, funky, with some spicyness, cinammon. Medium body, ABV hidden very well. Overall, a very tasty brew.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a bottle into a snifter. Huge thick beige head atop a cloudy brown body. Smell of nutmeg, hay, and earth. Root beer, malt, hard to describe, but likable.

 

 

 

This beer pours a very hazy medium brown with a very large head. The aroma is full of brett notes, wet hay being very prominent, as well as prune juice, papaya, banana, clove, melon, vinous white grape, pepper, and raisin. The flavor offers bright white grape, clove, nutmeg, plum, apricot, and some barnyard notes. The mouthfeel is assertively fizzy and medium bodied. Overall this is an awesome beer, full of flavor, with huge funk and fruit present.
