Its a shame, when its good its good. Luckily the coffee and wine barrel variants show no signs of Brett.

All that aside, people freaked out more because the Vanilla Noir was infected with Brett, and Chase has said the same. It isn't close to 100% of the batches, but some of the vanilla beans did transfer Brett to the beer and some bottles are gushers and infected. The rust absolutely had nothing to do with it though.
I did however have a bottle that the beer was leaking out and bubbling through the wax, I watched it bubble out for 5 straight minutes, definitely a leak.

The first one I had was great, but don't want to risk it on someone else.
I just dont get how it could rust even if it was wet when they waxed it. Rust needs water and oxygen and wax would eliminate the oxygen part of that in theory. Hmmm, science! And damn that is cheap for barrels! I assume they are 55 gallon?
fwiw, I had one last week and it was great. But I know it wasn't every bottle...
The wax does not fill all the crevices/crimped areas, therefore there is oxygen present. I heard they wax with the bottles cold, so that's where the moisture probably came from.
I have a hard time believing it did not contribute to the quality issues with their beers since they have since moved away from wax. Never heard anyone in Arkansas complain about rusted caps or quality issues---they don't get waxed versions.
