Jul 3, 2009 Infected bottle with notes of merlot in the nose. Mahogany pour with a five-finger eggshell head that likely would have left lacing had a drank more than a sip and poured it down the drain. Sour beyond sour and missing any smoke, oak, or porter qualities. YUCK!!!

Jun 17, 2009 Bottle from the generosity of dchmela. Thanks as always, Dave. Hot damn, this beer is awesome! Such a big fan. Pours dark brown with a generous big bubbly light tan head with perhaps the slightest pink tint. Earthy, tannic, sour oaky notes on the nose as well as some dark fruits, complex roasted malts, and just a hint of smoke. Definitely picking up some sour cherry notes as well. Some nice cocoa flavors. Palate was smooth and light. Love the lower ABV. Amazing beer.

Jun 16, 2009 Pours with a dark brown hue with a small light brown head that is mostly diminishing.
Aroma is of smokey wood - dark fruits, coffee, toffee, and caramel also dominate the scent of this beer.
Flavor has a sour beginning, with a strong coffee and cocoa powder middle. This beer has a medium sour ending.
Syrupy texture with light carbonation.

Jun 15, 2009 Batch 2 thanks to Cletus. A violent gusher even when chilled a bit. Pours with a mocha brown head over a cola colored body. Aroma of chocolate, wood, wine, tannins, sour cherries, florals and dark fruits. Taste is cocoa powder, smoked coffee grounds, brett, cherry, wood, tannins and goodness. Lively carbonation with a dry finish.

Jun 14, 2009 Bottle, batch 3. Thanks to fredandboboflo for this one. Rating number 200 for this beer. Pour is dark brown with a maroon tinge and large brown head. Aroma is strong wine up front: earthy tannins, oak, rich fruits, vanilla, a touch of smoke and a background of roasty malt. THe aroma is really spectacular. Flavor is wonderful as well. The wine dominates the early flavors. Rich red wine: earthy, fruity, tobacco and a touch of sourness. The wine lingers too. the malt is more evident in the finish and adds a nice sweetness and smokiness to balance out the sweetness/sourness of the wine. The finish is lingering wine, smoke, and porter. Great stuff
