Kept them upright and safe on the 1 hour journey home and stored upright in the keezer at 45 Degrees F for 5 hours. Enjoyed split 2 ways in HFS Stem-ware while watching Luther on BBC (great show, BTW). When I opened it, it didn\u2019t gush but left un-checked, this beer will foam and depart the bottle at a slow steady pace. Get your glassware ready!!!!!A &#8211; This looks like a darker Old Stock, mahogany hues, with a touch of dark blood color. Caramel and darker-esque but no where near black or grey. Looks like a standard old ale.<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; The nose is fantastic. Smells like Cherry Cola, a faint bourbon back-end with funky leather brett and caramelized malts from a long boil or extended oak aging. Very similar nose to some of the darker wild ales from Crooked Stave.<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Taste is incredibly difficult to pin-point. It is certainly and undeniably an old ale but the brett and other wild yeasts really do strange things I mean maybe in a good way? If the description wasn\u2019t that they intentionally added micro-flora, I\u2019d think infection because I\u2019ve never had an Old Ale that intentionally received that funky goodness. A lot of sweet, a lot of sour \/ funk with leather and raw sorghum with tobacco. Funky in a dominating way, some clove and spice. Finish is an oaky port wine tannic w\/ obviously more funk.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Fantastic bottle conditioned mouthfeel. Dry and not too sweet finish<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; This is hard to rate. I like it certainly could drink a lot of it but the American in me that wants to categorize what this is&#8230;it\u2019s so hard. I love Old Ales!!! but I\u2019ve never had one with this much funk presence. I could drink a lot of this. My mind is telling me no&#8230;but my body, my body is telling me yes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Hill Farmstead Peleg (Old Ale - 2014)' on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/14643640741\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2907\/14643640741_721feb5e72_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hill Farmstead Peleg (Old Ale - 2014)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Hill Farmstead Peleg (Old Ale - 2014)' on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/14646883915\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2927\/14646883915_fa50329c06_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hill Farmstead Peleg (Old Ale - 2014)\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3.9 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AROMA\u00a09\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0APPEARANCE\u00a04\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0TASTE\u00a07\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PALATE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0OVERALL14\/20 AdamJackson\u00a0(2348)\u00a0&#8211; Enfield, New Hampshire, USA &#8211; JUL 11, 2014 Picked up 3 bottles on July 11th&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-03-17T02:37:18Z","apple_news_api_id":"628ca9ab-e3df-4249-ab3e-71af72de7969","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-03-17T02:37:18Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AYoypq-PfQkmrPnGvct55aQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-reviews","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-B6","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2407,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2014\/09\/25\/review-hill-farmstead-dorothy-2014\/","url_meta":{"origin":2300,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Review: Hill Farmstead Dorothy (2014)","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"September 25, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"3.9 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AROMA\u00a010\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0APPEARANCE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0TASTE\u00a07\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PALATE\u00a03\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0OVERALL\u00a014\/20 AdamJackson\u00a0(2626)\u00a0- Enfield, New Hampshire, USA - SEP 21, 2014 Picked this up yesterday @ Hill Farmstead. $10 a 750ML bottle.
