Thanks to d0b for cracking this one out. Served in a La Chouffe tulip glass.

A - Pours with a finger of light tan foam that dissipates to a huge ring with big bubbles. A sheen of haze lingers for quite a while, and there are copious splotches of lace. Apple cider color that is hazier the one gets into the bottle. For a 10% wild this is pretty good looking stuff.

S - This is really unique and unusual - the name of Sui Generis is quite appropriate. There's some notes of barrel, bourbon, earthiness, a little bit of booziness, sour apple, and a really odd spice that I can't quite place. The alcohol is a little higher than I like, but otherwise the strange collection of smells is well-integrated.

T - The taste is more in the line with traditional wild ales. There's some berry fruitiness, Cabernet and port notes, some light vanilla flavor, and very well-hidden booze. Not super funky or sour, but deep and complex with well-balanced elements.

M - Soft texture with minimal heat. Lower carbonation, creamy medium body, dry and clean finish. I really dig the texture on this one. There's a bit of mounting warmth as I approach the end of my glass.

D - For a 10% wild ale this is pretty easy drinking. I can feel the booze creeping up, but it tastes great and goes down quick. Best beer I've ever had from Avery.
