Oct 28, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep reddish/brown color ale with a large foamy head with great retention and great lacing. Aroma of oak with some tart notes and maybe light cherry notes as well though that may originate from the oak. Taste is very complex and is dominated by some oak notes with some tart and sour notes also easily detectable. Full body with great carbonation and no trace of alcohol could be detected. This beer was very well done by one of the best US brewer of sour beers.

Oct 26, 2008 Bottle. Earthy, funky, mildly sour. A twinge of chocolate and coffee. Smooth and subtle. Nice.

Oct 21, 2008 Straw and fresh ground coffee beans hidden underneath cobweb covered earthy funkiness. YES!, that’s what this big dark fully headed beer puts forth into the air. The carbonation is prickly. The mouth is nice and tart. The flavors are firmly malty with coffee frinds and tart grape. and funk. Yes, this was my favorite Jolly Pumpkin beer yet.

Oct 18, 2008 Pours with a dark amber hue that sits below an off white head. The head has good longevity.
The aroma is of barnyard funk, yeast, wood, and bread. There is a bit of a sour aroma to the beer as well/
The flavor is sour initially, with a nutty/bitter taste at the finish. Overall this beer tastes a little like champagne.
Dry to the palate, with fizzy carbonation.

Oct 12, 2008 This is a difficult brew to drink but the sourness of it balances out the high malt content of it so that its a decent sipper. Pour is a dark brown red with a very thick tan head. Aroma is fruit tart, woody, oaky, and has berries as well. Flavor is sour, tart berries, citrus and spice. Palate is slightly tart and boozy.
