This Brett Beer showcases exceptional depth from four years in oak barrels and two additional years of bottle conditioning. The brewery's house Brettanomyces blend delivers a sophisticated sensory profile, beginning with a deeply funky aroma reminiscent of wet hay and aged leather, layered with bright notes of lemon sherbert. Despite its strength, the palate is elegantly balanced, featuring a smooth, lemony tartness and delicate oak tannins. The long maturation has transformed the base into a complex tapestry of stone fruit and earthy undertones, culminating in a dry, lingering finish that masks its significant 10.2% ABV potency with remarkable grace.

Appearance. Deep gold to copper (10–14 SRM) with a fine-beaded, off-white head that fades relatively quickly due to high alcohol content and extended aging. Displays a slight haze with visible evidence of slow-rising carbonation.

Aroma. High intensity aroma defined by a profound funk—barnyard, earthy soil, and wet hay—originating from the house Brettanomyces blend. These rustic notes are brightened by a distinct citrus sherbert and lemon zest character. Faint toasted oak and vanilla whispers from the four-year barrel aging provide a sturdy backdrop, accompanied by subtle stone fruit esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a refined, lemony tartness that is smooth rather than sharp. The palate is very dry and highly attenuated, featuring complex layers of funky barnyard notes and a hint of white pepper. Malt flavors are secondary, manifesting as a light toasted breadiness. Oak tannins provide structure and a slightly woody finish, while the aftertaste lingers with a pleasant citrus pith and earthy complexity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body that feels surprisingly light on its feet due to high attenuation and the character of the wild yeast. Carbonation is moderate to high, creating a lively, prickly sensation. A noticeable and warming alcohol presence is well-integrated, reflecting its strength. Very low astringency despite the extended oak contact.
