| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 13, 2009 12 oz bottle purchased at Lukas in Kansas City, Missouri. Bottled feb 10 2009 stamped on label. Pour is murky cordovan burgundy with a smallish dirty white head. Really nice lacing. Aroma of acidic black cherry, more of the skin tannin than straight sour. In fact, this is not really sour cherry at all, just the dry acidity and mild sweetness. Oak wood mixes with grainy maltiness underneath the acidity. Taste is a bunch of the wood oakiness, dry black cherry sour - as with the nose, more acidic than sweet fruit. Wood is big in this, almost overpowering. Overall, a unique beer. fly (1333), austin, Tejas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 13, 2009 Kinda wanted to like it more. Rather wanted to lie. Didn’t think the least of it, but thought the whole was less than the sum of the parts. Funkiness, sure - that was fine. BA aspect didn’t seem a hindrance as is often the case for me. Will it improve with age? Hell if I know. But while I was rooting for it to be knocked out of the park it merely made it to my lips via glass and was judged to be OKAY. angrypirate06 (781), Texas, USA

Taste is sour, with barrels, plum sweetness and cherries. Syrupy mouthfeel, light bubbles. Quite good! RSRIZZO (1369), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Color is a near black brown with light carbonation and a very thin head. Aroma is a sour scent with a touch of fruit. Taste is zingy and sour. Starting with a light medium body it goes down crisp. Finish sour with a fruity wine like sweetness underneath. After taste leaves you with a wine like zing. This is an interesting brew and one of the best I have had that has brett in it. Naven (878), Poway, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Bottle. From Bev4Less. Nice amber/brown color, nose is uh oh sour. Surprisingly smooth, lightly sour, and dare I say, refreshing. Well done, and not overblown.
