Jul 28, 2009 On tap at the MBG Summer Festival. Poured a light reddish pink with an off-white head. Aroma was dominated by tart cherries with a sweet undertone as well as a sour tone that I am guessing is from the oak. The tartness balances well with the oak and there is again a sweet undertone.

Aug 1, 2008 Draft sample at MBGF Summer08. Pours a cloudy reddish copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Good tart cherry and woody aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium to heavy tart cherry flavor with a good solid sweet & sour finish of moderate to long duration. Another very interesting beer from this brewer.

Jul 28, 2008 Updated: Jul 29, 2009Had this at the MBGF08. Poured a hazy reddish amber color. Aroma was slight cherry, nutty and yeast. Flavor is light cherry, slight funk, yeast, vanilla. This was a lot more mellow than I expected. I would like to try this again on it’s own.
Re-rate: Had this again at the MBGSF 09. Seemed to have a lot more punh this time. Really nice round flavor. I thought the most recent version was really nice.

Aug 2, 2007 MiBGF 07: Muddy ruby brown with a minimal head. The aroma has notes of both fresh cherries and aged fruit, Belgian yeast funk, wood and some pale malt vapours. The taste starts with a nice fruity twang with a counter balance of Belgian sweetness. An undertone of wood and light pepper run throughout. The mouth feel is refreshing and warming, hit the spot without being overpowering. This is really nice and I could dig a few bottle in the future...Ron?
