750ml bottle shared by the most generous hoser 6/5/13

A clear copper with lots of tiny pinprick bubbles, massive off white foam just sorta sits there the whole time you drink it leaving plenty of lace, looks fantastic

S funky wood, mandarin peel, red barriers from the syrah, strawberry sticks out, wet moldy wood smells better then it sounds with some hops hiding in the background, smells as good as it looks

T funks toned down compared to the nose but still turned up, quite woody and fruity, just a small step back from the nose but that still leaves an amazing flavor in my mouth

M dry but not entirely so, a little pucker and the tiny bubbles work well, funky finish lingers

O looks like I stopped taking notes by this point but I’m sure I can sum it up. It’s a great Canadian beer that will be on the top 50 once the reviews roll in I’m sure of that, this one’s World Class

Thanks again hoser for opening a big want of mine, I hope this makes its way to shelves here in Alberta, I’d stock up. I’ve been pretty impressed by this brewery in general and can’t wait to try more of their stuff

Beer is cloudy golden/amber in colour. Good-sized white head. Decent retention, good lace.

Smell contains lots of brett. Cherry, some funk. Light fruit. Also a bunch of oak. Apple, a bit of a grassy scent.

Taste is very good. Nicely tart, cherry and a bit of funk. Dry. Lots of brett. Lots of oak and vanilla. Light fruit. Refreshing and moderately sour. Good stuff.

Medium bodied, low carbonation level. Very refreshing. A bit tart.

Overall, very good. I was surprised that this one made it to Ontario, but am very glad it did. Yum!

Poured in a spiegelau expert tasting glass, served side-by-sde with cantillon geuze and some boon mariage parfait

Subtitle of the beer is "bière sauvage" which would translate as wild ale. Description states it's an IPA aged for 18 months in a californian syrah wine barrel with brettanomyces.

A: troubled peach color, with a huge foamy head

S: very complex, with apricots, honey, bretts, but also some grainy and grassy aromas. Very intriguing, and original

T: quite interesting, with a fruity attack, an bretts taking on from there. Description mentionned that acidity was quite high, but in my opinion it wasn't really noticeable as it could have been. Bitterness is quite high, and the length is impressive.

M: Rich, round, yet pretty dry, and the alcohol is nicely integrated.

O: A very, very complex offering. Really enjoyed it, but I would enjoy a bit more acidity. Overall, another great barrel-aged beer from TDD. I think I still prefered the Dulcis Succubus, but this comes real close...
