Poured a murky mahogany color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of sour cherries, wild yeast, oaky wine barrels, leather, some roast, cocoa, and caramel. Taste of dark fruits, vanilla, oak, wood, caramel, roast, a bit of cocoa, and a dry, lightly tart finish.

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.

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.

Bottle from bman1113vr. Brewed on 2/10/09. Black pour, beige head. Sour funky aroma, with some sweet fruits. Flavor was sour, funky with a lite alcohol back. Fizzy mouthfeel.

Bottles: one via a trade with Carythedude, the other from Lumpy (who I think got it from Kevin). Brewed on 2/10/09. Pours with a black body, with a small, off-white head. Aroma is tart with notes of wine barrel, horse blanket, sweetness, dark fruits, cherry. Taste is sour, with barrels, plum sweetness and cherries. Syrupy mouthfeel, light bubbles. Quite good!

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.

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.
