I was upset that I missed the initial release several months back. So I was very excited to see this on the board today.
a: This was a clear, dark brown color. It was served to me with a short, light tan colored head.
s: This is Permanent Midnight aged in cabernet barrels with brett. The wine barrel takes charge, this smells strongly of grapes with an edge of something funky and a little oak. Underneath all that is a little of the original beer. Some dark fruits and some earthy spiciness.
t: I enjoyed this very much, but I wish a little more of the original beer had come through. The strong, oaky wine notes are very nice and the brett adds a mild but discernible sour bite. There was something malty trying to get out, but it didn't quite get there.
m: Medium bodied with light, fizzy carbonation.
d: This was a minor let down. I was so excited to try this that I built it up to be something that probably wasn't very realistic. Once I got past my preconceived notions and let myself enjoy this on its own merit, I really came to like this. Dad's favorite of the day. Nice first funk from Paul.
