Mar 15, 2009 This is one strange beer. Tart , sweet bourbon smell, hard for me to rate this style, (haven,t had enough) It’s fun t try, you’ll LOVE it or HATE it.

Mar 2, 2009 Courtesy jdubfl, thanks Justin. Pours deep dark with frothy tan head. The aroma is sour sourness and a little else. The taste has hints of roast and malts and bourbon before the sourness ratchets up the tartness, crushed aspirin, sour and sense of tart un-ripe berry fruitiness. Interesting.

Mar 2, 2009 750ml bottle (batch # 1) via trade a while back. Pours a very dark brown with a 2 finger thick beige/tan head. I was expecting more bourbon on the nose. What I got was kind of wine barrel aromas apposed to bourbon. Oak, smoke and some sour funk. As the beer set, some of the tartness subsided and more of the bourbon started to come through. Even though it wasn’t what I expected, a great brew non the less.

Mar 1, 2009 Great aroma, can smell the bourbon coming through right off the bat. Then you go to taste it, and it’s sour taste is way to over powering. As it warmed more brandy came out, but I’m going to go ahead and say that the sourness was not the original intent of this flavor in this beer

Mar 1, 2009 Thanks jdubfl for the share. Pours dark brown with a dark brown head. Nose is sour, almost balsamic vinegar, with some sweet roasted notes. Flavor is sweet with cherries, vanilla, and definite spicy characteristics. I agree with gunhaver in that the chocolate is distant- it does not take center stage. Enjoyable, and definitely unique.

Aroma is sour and floral with notes of sour ripe fruit, vinegar, tart cherries, wood, bourbon and hints of smoke.

Feb 26, 2009 Bottle, courtesy jdubfl. Black pour with red highlights. Very thick fluffy cloud-like head, and sticky lacing. Dark fruit in the nose, floral notes, some bourbon, cinnamon and spices, and very distant roast. Slight woodsy tone. Very nice, thick dark fruit with tart cherry notes, some floral tones, citrus, and distant chocolate. Balanced, very rich and delicious.

Interesting and amazing beer, a bitter porter.
Pours black with beige head.
Aroma has good tart nose with light oak wood.
Taste, tartness at first with caramel malts and chocolate following with dark fruits (currants). Overall bourbon mouthfeel is weak and adds a light smokey touch to the palate.
