| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 10, 2009 (Bottled, 0.75l) Hazy dark red with a smallish, tanned, firm and lasting head. One of the loudest pops ever heard from a beer bottle. Deliciously tart and earthy, very red-wineous aroma with oak barrel, peppery spiciness, cellar. Very fruity flavor with some alcohol presence, some oak barrel, not as tart as the aroma, but with clear red wine notes. Long red wine aftertaste with tannins present. Well hidden alcohol. Yeast brings in even more intense fruitiness, that blends beautifully with the oaky tannins and red wine flavors. Medium body, surprisingly fizzy and carbonated for such a strong beer. A very enjoyable beer-wine marriage. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 7, 2009 Bottle thanks to Kan for sharing. Murky amber with small beige head. Aroma is big barrel in the front with grapes, wild yeast, more pedio than brett, nice malt notes as well with caramel, alc. Medium sweet, flavor is similar to the aroma, really intense, really complex, excelent barrel charecteristic and wild yeast. Medium to full body with active carbonation. One of the most interesting beers I’ve had for a long time, would like a bottle of this to lay down. bu11zeye (5510), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 26, 2009 750 ml bottle shared by mreusch. Best before 2011 on the bottle. Pour is hazed cloudy orange brown with a smallish off white head. Aroma of malty citrusy brown sugar sweetness. Interesting sherry notes nicely warm the smell. Tannic wood and fruit. Lovely nose, super complex. Taste is brown sugar, malt, red wine, port and and a really nice sour cherry fruitiness near the end. The sour is delicate. The wood comes through in the taste, though is melded. All flavors are beautifully in balance. Palate is medium heavy, very mouth coating. Thanks for sharing this one Matt, very much appreciated. This was the class of the session for me.
