Notes

A big and huge and massive oaked and infused beer with aged and stressed hops at the end to give that funky and meaty flavor...Medium and charred oak is added at the fermentation to give the barrel flavors we love. Cherries and Peaches are added to add more fodder for the aggressive brett strains. The use of Omega :Bring on the Funk" will add a bit of Bacillus that will really get the party going!! The rest of the hops i.e Mosaic Simcoe Citra and Amarillo provide the flavors of what I call the "Rocky Mtn, IPA" flavors I lve and what I really pulled off in my "Camarillo Brillo" I will age it for 2-3 months in a primary fermentation and barrel from there! Cant wait for December!!!
