750 ml. green bottle. Corked & crowned. Poured out a deep hazy chocolate/ cocoa brown, with a thin light brown head. Aromas are mostly of musty barns, horse blanket, and some sour malts. Flavors are mostly of Brettanomyces at this point, sour, tart, and astringent. Puckering even. Not too much left in the way of spices, honey, or pepper. Slight peppery bite to it as it’s swallowed. Alcohol is well hidden, tastes more like a 5% ABV sour red Belgian than a 10% dark ale. Finishes sour, tart, and vinegary.
