"The multiple award winning Extra Special Brown Ale aged with Lactobacillus for two years in a French oak Sawtooth Chardonnay barrel."
Had this a couple of times tonight at the Bittercreek Grand Teton 25th Anniversary Party.
Pours with a short lasting white head... very short lived.. the brew is a fairly clear orangish/red. No lacing to speak of.
Nose is definitely "wild" with nothing (IMO) that resembles the original Bitch Creek... Funky fruitiness reminiscent of a light Flanders... plenty of lactic notes with a lite bite of acetic acid. There is oak.. a bit vinous, but I am not much of a wine guy, and have a hard time on the aroma especially.
Flavor is surprisingly light given the complex aroma profile... vinous... a light oaky element... the lactic/light acetic notes are there too, but again are light... with warmth, I get a slightly off-putting vinyl/plastic quality.
The body is light and the carbonation was very light (maybe intended this way by the brewer, but I never asked)
Overall.. This is a pretty nice brew.. I would buy if it was in bottles.
