Nov 29, 2009 10th September 2008. Sour start but thankfully not dominated by sourness as the oaky notes reign it in. Fairly dry and bitter finish. Not beer nirvana for moi!

Sep 29, 2009 Bottle. I found this to be a tad overrated. Not bad, but the 004 veritas kicked this one’s ass. Pours a brown color with a small head. Aroma has vinegar, sherry, cherries, wet wood, booze and some tart funky notes. Flavor reminds me of a rodenbach mixed with a la folie and some boozy notes added in. It was nice...but not spectacular IMO.

Sep 1, 2009 Cloudy brownish color with no head. Aroma is sweet fruit, some sourness and some faint sherry. Flavor is more sour but still has a nice sweetness and dark sour fruit. A hint of brett dries out the finish and ends sour.
