OxBow Cletus

OxBow Cletus is a barrel aged strong dark ale bottle conditioned with brettanomyces. It comes in a counter-pressure filled swing top growler. Thanks for the bottle Nathan! I knew nothing about this beer or brewery when it arrived at my door, but I was certainly excited to try it. I believe it was released in March of 2013. The beer was excited to get out too, the top came off rather aggressively with a loud pop, and a bit of foam started to gush over the side. Not an overly complex beer but it makes up for it with great flavor. Nice maltiness is complimented by notes from the barrel, some bourbon, and a bit of fruitiness/mild funk from the brett. The carbonation was a bit too high, but overall I really enjoyed this beer.
