2) The Sierra Nevada and Russian River collaboration American Wild Ale named "Brux" is a perfect example of the sought after taste of Wet Horse Blanket, barnyard like characteristic. They specifically used the Brett yeast strain which is known for developing that taste and aroma in their beer to ferment this one. Since it was the only Russian River beer that is distributed in NJ, i had to pick it up, and i can tell you, the wet horse blanket works. It seems odd, but just go for it. There is one from Ommegang as well which if i remember correctly, they specifically went for that flavor profile, as well as many other commercial examples. Don't be so close minded, many people have many different preferred tastes, like a stanky cheese like limburger or rochefort for example
3) nothing special. 5 gal batches. In bottles now is a strong german style hefewiezen. fermenting now is a chocolate stout. Im actually thinking of throwing whole peanuts in for a dry hop (well... dry peanutting).... i love peanuts and peanut butter beers.
4) I mentioned "mutually exclusive", meaning, your choice must be one of the two. Either you chose a beer you do not like the flavor of, or you chose a beer which has so little flavor. In my opinion, the BL is the lesser of two evils. Thus, my rationale.
I don't believe a beer can be "overcarbonated," unless infected. Brooklyn's Sorachi Ace and Black Ops are both some of the most carbonated beers ive had the pleasure of tasting, and also some of the tastiest ;both are fermented with champagne yeast. Even homebrew gushers from early batches are sometimes overcarbonated, but once settle, can be delicious beers.
I don't "like to argue." i do, however, enjoy talking beer.
I have made a career out of it. Since I sell, promote, and discover new beer as a job, I'm pretty sure there is not motivation to "pose" either.
