cool. I'd be interested in the comparison.

Okay, I just cracked the bottle tonight. WOW!!! Some age sure did this beer good. I will take some detailed notes, but it really is a completely different beer, a thousand time better than it was at the brewery. The brett funk has developed into a nice floral wine-like scent. I am glad I still have 2 big bottles left and I will seek out several more for the cellar.

Anyone disappointed with this needs to get some aged product and try again.

glad to hear this is getting better with age. I picked up a bottle yesterday that had a bottled date of June so it has about 4months on it which looks like when this beer starts getting good. I put it right in the fridge last night and will be enjoying it tonight while watching the NLCS game 1. If it is as good as it sounds I will be back to the brewery for a few more bottles to lay down for a year or so to see how the brett continues to develop.

Anyone know if they use the brett for the bottle conditioning as well? Thinking about trying to harvest the dregs from this.

If they brett character is increasing over time, there is brett in it.

Should have waited a few more years. This stuff is fantastic. Yes, the hops are faded, but the brett character is full and deveploed. The hop flavor suppports the brett beuatifully.

I found this in a distributors wharehouse behind some other stuff, with a moldy, faded label.

They have a whole shelf of leftover unsaleable stuff. A lot of Avery's bigger beers as well. I'm going to need to go back.

Anyone know what strain of brett they used?

can you be more specific on said distributor?

 

[Brewstorm]

I'd rather not say. Its the local distributor here. Don't get too excited because I cleaned them out.
