Sep 12, 2009 Quite a heavy start to my third day at GBBF 09. Interesting ale aged in oak barrels. Poured form gravicask revealing a slightly unclear, dark orange content in my one-third pint glass. Delicious aroma of dark and dried fruits. Tart, dried fruity flavour mixed with yeast and moderate alcohol heating. Vinous textured. Solidly bodied (USA & Rest of the World Bar, bsf, 06.08.2009).

Pours a cloudy light golden amber color with a thin white head that quickly fades and some visible bubbly carbonation. Aroma is funky with lots of sour oak, with some dark cherry, strawberry, vanilla and hop notes. Very funkt and tart oaky flavor with plenty of hops and crisp apple and strawberry fruit flavor. Nice balanced and very quaffable. Excellent.

Aug 21, 2009 January 2007 vintage. Sweet malty aroma. Slightly sour with hints of oak. Cloudy light orange color with a large airy head that dissipates. Mild sweet taste in the beginning that develops a tart bitter middle. Light alcohol at the end. Light palate.

Aug 18, 2009 August 2008 Bottle. Sour aroma, apples, pears, almost like a cider at first. Fruity and very interesting aroma. Clear copper appearance with a thin white lace. Complex flavour of apples, pears that seap through the acidic nature of this beer. Slightly sweet. Hints of oak. The beer was a year old and I feel would mature nicely. Maybe I should have waited. As the beer warms I get oranges and fine malts. Nice beer but not one of my favourites.

Aug 17, 2009 Cask at GBBF09. Alround rating: Grainy lightly buttery malt, tart, plums and vious fruits, the barrel aging off the wine is key, but i guessed white with rather than red. Good stuff.
