Jul 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours a cloudy brownish red color with a small off white head. The aroma is lightly malted with currants and light citrus. The flavor is sweet, fruity (currants but also raspberry), with a bit of malt. This leaves a sour taste in the mouth as well as a hint of bitterness. Not bad, but a one time try.

May 21, 2007 Bottle. Cloying black currant aroma. Clear, vibrantly ruby body with a thin pinkish head. Strange taste! Sweet but not cloying - seems natural. Tart currant-and-raspberry, acidic medium-full body with notes of vanilla and alcohol. Touch of bitterness in the mid-back tongue. Smooth and tangy, has vague lambic aspirations but, well, let’s just leave it at that. Finish is sour/dry. Strange bird, this one!

Mar 28, 2007 12oz bottle, 2003, courtesy of SpringsLicker. Thanks, Jay! Pours a hazy, golden-orange color; off-white head with pleasant lacing. Grapes and red fruits in the aroma, with a hint of tartness, yeast and dough. Medium-to-full, chewy mouthfeel: plenty of doughy and bready notes; red fruits and currants and vinous qualities; a warming thread of vanilla running throughout. Surprisingly good for such low. This seems to have been well-cellared, and perhaps it’s doing well in its old age. Medium, red fruit and sugar finish.
