When you pop the cork and take your first sip, you\u2019ll notice a clean sour note and tang that\u2019s quickly followed by an earthy note and then a clean finish. It\u2019s one of the more unique tasting experiences I\u2019ve had with a beer.<\/p>\n<p>This unique flavor comes from a multi-step process that includes a fermentation with two yeast strains (WLP-500 Trappist Yeast and WLP-650 Brettanomyces Bruxellensis), a kettle-souring with lactobacillus and 10 months of aging in neutral oak barrels.<\/p>\n<p>Brett &amp; I bottles can only be purchased at Smuttynose, either during our tours or between 9-5 business hours, Monday-Friday. Bottles are $15 each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Really Old Brown Dog is our tribute Olive, Smuttynose\u2019s dearly-departed ball-chaser, squirrel-wrangler and loyal companion of Peter Egelston, our Founder and President. \u201cROBD\u201d is our take on an old ale; strong, malty and oak-aged.
