Bottle 750ml x 2
Appearance :Deep murky brown ale with well crafted fine (velvety) top. Neat hue shown.4-
Nose :Vinous, hint of quality white vine, plum sauce. Yeasty-alcoholic top . Late sour cherry pop trough. As it warms up further hints of roasted mocha chocolate. Wow. Very complex.
Flavour/Palate :Following direction given by superb aroma. Its gentle sour character goes well with smooth aged alcohol profile. Cherry flavored chewy texture. Plum with oak chips with grappa side. Potency balanced in God mode. One of best ales I had so far in my hunting days. This one is truly “Must Have!”

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle shared by SDbruboy, thanks Cliff. Pours with a cloudy red-brown body topped by a thin to medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with an underlying sour note, a touch of fruit and some yeasty notes. Medium bodied and slightly dry.

Jun 28, 2008 750 ml bottle, from sloth - outrageous man, thanks! Pours hazy chestnut amber with a small head. Aroma is wonderful, woody and vinuous, tart fruits and florals, brandy notes. Flavor is complex, tart and sweetish, dry, rich woody and unripe fruit flavors, wine barrels, tannic and spice. Smooth, full body, gentle carbonation.

May 19, 2008 Bottle at P1HG. Pours brown amber with white 2 finger head. Decent co2 4 years later. Good aroma with sweet merlot, sour mash, dark fruit, and some etoh. Flavor is vinous, tart, woody. A nice score.

May 15, 2008 Bottle shared by Brandon. Huge thanks! Tart aroma, dark fruit, smells a bit like garbage. Lightly metallic. Nice fruity flavor, very mellow, vineous, with a light tartness, oak, and wine finish. Good drinkability. I wish I had a bottle of this of my own.

May 12, 2008 Bottle, shared generously by notalush. Brown pour with a reddish hue. Aroma is some light leather, kriek-like cherry presence (maybe from the cask aging), and sugary malt. Flavor is the same, kriek-like tart fruit and wood, leathery, and some other dark sweet malt. Good.
