Dec 17, 2009 750ml bottle. Winey, fruity aroma, darkly sweet and woody, faintly earthy and tart with plenty of red grape, black cherry, and background notes of musty yeast. Opaque garnet color with virtually no head or lacing, not too surprising after 4 years, though. Flavor is also winey and fruity, very lightly tart and earthy, some dark malt sweetness showing through, and with a faint alcoholic component -- so much so, in fact, that there is absolutely no way this is 15.5% abv, my guess would be closer to somewhere between 9-10%. Smooth on the palate, even a bit thin, with a very full body. Gently warming and with a touch of sour. Flavorful and unique, rather satisfying overall.

Nov 1, 2009 Brownish pour. Fruity and tart aroma. Overripe sweet tarts. Wood, brett, wet mowed grass and vinegar. Flavor is sour but not crazy sour. Fruit, vinegar, hay and some light sweetness. Over priced IMO.

Poured brown/chestnut in color with no head. Cloudy. Not sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet, and lightly sour. Tastes of sour fruit, wood, light vanilla, oak, slight alcohol, light acetic acid, slight brett, slight funk, slight dark ripe fruit, slight banana, and a tad of cocoa. Medium body. Thin, watery, then lightly dry and lightly chalky texture. Soft carbonation.
