Poured from a 750mL bottle into a brandy snifter. Bottled April 2008.
A: Some white head tops a murkily translucent straw-yellow beer. Scattered lacing.
S: Faint Brettanomyces. Some tart, tropical fruit.
T: Jaw-achingly tart initially. This yeast has got some serious funk, but by the latter half of the taste, the hibiscus becomes unmistakably prominent and leads to a smooth, clean finish. A trace of balancing spice is likely the black pepper. I really like what's going on in here. I have no idea what it's like fresh, but it seems to have aged well. The tartness fades with acquaintance, and mellows out into a saisonesque funk-forward yeasty beer with some sweet fruit undertones and spicy topnotes.
M: Middling.
O: I quite liked it, but it's certainly strange. Recommended if you can still find one laying about, as my friend did, languishing unappreciated on some dusty shelf.

Bomber at share. Dark golden pour with a frothy off-white head. This has held up fairly well. Aroma is floral and yeasty along with some savory notes. Taste brings funky brett flavors, fruity, malty, floral and savory. A lot of stuff. And it works well. and still good.
