Much darker than expected. Its very very dark. Almost black. But held to the light it is definately a clear deep deep brown with some deep red notes. Mild carbonation. Very minimal head. But I suppose this is right for the style...?? Nose is mostly sour. I'm not sure I'm getting any Brett at all. Definately some sweet sugary notes too. The flavor is where its at for this beer. It might not look nice or smell very nice, but big rich sweet malts balanced by a mild sourness and maybe even some earthy Brett funk really make this a superb beer. Really nice sweetness...not sure if its malt of candi sugar derived but nice mellow caramel. Get what I think might be Brett mostly in the finish. Mouthfeel was decent. Little thick but neccesary for the residual sweetness I suppose. Could use a bit more carbonation to liven things up a bit. Quite a drinkable beer. Just a tiny bit cloying but no too much to make it unenjoyable. I enjoyed the entire glass and could have done 3 more!
