Dec 18, 2007 Updated: Dec 19, 200722oz bottle thanks to the Cheeseman. Very nice woody brettanomyces funky nose, with notes of pumpkin spice, numeg and tart fruit. Flavor has some heavy cinnamon and allspice, juniper berries, and tart cherries, especially in the finish. Dry oak and some spicy sugared bread. Very very good. A hybrid sour ale and pumpkin/spice beer. Very interesting creation.

Dec 18, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Naven. Dry, earthy, soapy finish detracts from this otherwise nice brew w/ hints of sour cherries, oak, and spice. Just Okay.

Dec 15, 2007 On tap at Carlsbad Pizza Port. Mohogany color, small head. Pumpkin & tart fruit and spice aroma and taste. Lemon zest, pumpkin, some mixed spice and bitter notes. Absolutely unique and funky w/barrel flavors, red wine...beer for the adventurous. I hear it’s based on a Port Brewing Lost Abbey culture. Like the crazy fun stuff from Fantome, Jolly Pumpkin and Russian River.

Dec 13, 2007 On draft at O’briens. Some spice and sour smells and flavors in this nice sour ale. I would like to revisit this again.

Dec 13, 2007 Draft at O’Brien’s near beginning of November. Tart wine like aromas. Flavors were not nearly as tart as I had expected. Maybe when it has had a chance to age. Still very good. Spice and earthy too.

Dec 12, 2007 Clear dull pink, thin head. Funky, tart, lactic and slightly meaty aroma. Very lambic like. Lean and tart upfront followed by tangy cherry, then pumpkin pie and finishing dry and squeaky clean. Nicely layered flavor experience that flows divinely. Well balanced sourness. I wish I had some more to lay down. Really exceptional ale.

Dec 11, 2007 Updated: Mar 6, 2008Bottled, pours a nice clean deep copper brown color and minimal head. Nothing wrong with the aroma, just pretty weak. Slight hints of sweet red wine, cinnamon spice, caramel and sour brett yeast. Flavor is a bit more impressive, sweet candy sugar notes with the said pumpkin and lots of red wine. It has a bit of sour tang from the wild yeast (brettanomyces I’m guessing), and a very nutty finish, with notes of biscuit as well. Not bad.
