thanks to weeare138 for sharing this, I was wowed, a brett quadruple -what a unique adventurous and inspiring brew.
Enjoyed cool in a tulip
A a lively caramel w/ small cream cap in the appearance -no crystal clear, but looks very nice in the glass, the retention is decent. The smell is off the charts - wonderful aromas of rainer cherry, golden and granny smith apples and slight earthy compliment, mild floral and herbal tinges from the brett -wow.
The feel is sweet, fruity and mildly acidic with the funk effect noticeable in texture. There is still a mild sweetness so I would say finish is more semi dry.
The taste is wonderful with the juicy apple tart berry and light grape notes blending well in this with the slightly fruity tang of wild yeast blending with spice and slight caramel from the malt foundation. the light funky rounds out the flavor adding complexity to the sour tinges and gentle fruitiness. To say this was drinkable is an understatement. The sour flavor is equisite - it does exactly what is needed without going overboard, the nuances are so plentiful and complexity is huge in this -top notch Iron Hill!

Much, much thanks to sydpanz for opening up this growler at The Sly Fox IPA event...
Appears a hazy, dark mahogany with a small, off white cap that never fades. Tons of scattered lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of rubber, ripe fruit, caramel, toasted nuts, vanilla, funk. Wow.
Taste is of sweet, funky fruit, caramel, cashews, almonds, brown sugar, vanilla. Jesus...complex isn't even the word here. This is fucking great stuff.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, funky, rubbery, fruit filled, with vanillins coming through. Palate coating.
Holy Christ in Heaven. This is really outrageous stuff that everyone needs to try.
It's almost like being able to have a super power for a few minutes because your senses are overwhelmed with goodness.
