Commercial Description:
This beer was brewed in sept. 06 and has since then been aged in oak barrels until bottling on March 22. 2008. The beer is blended for roundness but is still very sour and a little bit acetic. We think our first attempt has been a great success and we will definitely try this again.

(on bottle, thanx a thau´to Yngvar) A unclear, reddishbrown beer, no head. A strange and pleasing aroma of raspberries, chocolate, liqourice, bret and leather. The taste is equally woody, aged and zingy, but the mouthfeel kind o´starts of on a high note, toothpaste and mint, and dosen´t come down to the other impressions. Finishes of that nice bowl of maltvinegar it is.

Bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Thanks to Knut Albert. Hazy russet, thin lasting beige/pink head. Glue and raspberry/cherry aroma. Lovely and sour in mouth, great flavours. Very good and just about my beer of the day.

Pours out brown with very little head. Taste is funky, fruity and tart. Nice woody flavor with a sour finish. Great brew.

[Bottle] Pours a cloudy brown with a smallish tan head. Aroma is fantastic and complex with cherries, funk, some caramel, and vinegar. Flavor is cherries, balsamic vinegar, maybe a hint of juniper, and quite a bit of tartness. This is really a fantastic sour. Steeped with complexity, and I feel like this would age well.

Shared with DarkGuardian. Not a big fan of sours but I did enjoy this one.Lots of vinous cherries and not overly sour.Wa a bit more tart than sour.Not too bad.I would like to revisit this again.

Pours brownish, with a tan head. Aroma is cherries, funk, oak, and strawberries. Flavor is tart cherries, strawberries, and funk, with a acetic ending. This is very good and surprisingly drinkable.

Nice. Tons of cherry and sour in this brown sour ale. Bought for a sour tasting I wanted to hold, but no one seemed interested in doing with me. Took another sip. Wow. This is exactly the kind of sour ale I love. Full of body and complexity. Tart. Lots of fruit.

Bottle. Mahogony beer with a dark tan head. Sour aroma with berry (mostly cherry) fruitiness. Tart/sour flavor with a nice acetic bite and cherries. Medium bodied. Refreshing. Tart/sour lingers with malt and some berry.
