(750 ml bottle; purchased at the brewery a month ago... decanted into quasi-copita glasses)

Orange-amber liquid, mild haze; firework foam on pour, razor thin collar... on the nose: grapefruit, barrel funk, slight hint of aged hops, smoky dried flowers; in this glass, excellent expression and intensity... on the palate: herbal spice overtone, big fruity bittersweet orangy underbelly; aftertaste: lightly funky, burlap, dried grass, grapefruit marmalade (sans sweetness)... stealth effervescence, latent gas; fuzzy-plush texture, soft pillowy swell, rolled-off smoky-bitter bite pinging the back of the tongue... flavors and aromas quite different in the copita over the plastic cup from which I tried a draft version at the brewery; (dry) hops expression seems more restrained here, perhaps accentuating the bitterness; well-balanced, dynamic; the hops maybe restrict uniqueness, but this is otherwise bold and beautiful (1861)
