Bottle from Schroppfy, thanks! Deep dark brown color, almost opague. Oak, vanilla, raisin and bourbon in the aroma. Grapes and a cherry tartness in the flavor, combined with some roasted malt. Has developed the finesse of an old Flemish brown ale. Oak, raisin and vanilla in the aftertaste. I just loved this one.

(12oz. bottle, Batch 4) Pours a dark brown body with a spare beige head. Aroma of black cherry, barnyard, raisins, vanilla, and vinous. Flavor of tart citrus, cherry, vinous, light roasted malt, and florals with a dry finish. Excellent!

Bottle (dregs)… WTF OMG!… Murky, dark brown blend with a small, white head. The aroma is malty, acidic and earthy – chocolate, lactic acid, wood and a whisper of bourbon. Full-bodied with a whole-milk mouthfeel and zippy carbonation. Mainly sour, but also lots of roastiness and some cocoa and caramel sweetness. Tart, dry finish.

Pours dark brown with some off white bubbles around the rim of the glass. Smells of tarte fruit, funk, sour pit cherries, oaky. Tastes dry and acidic with some residual sugar and a nice fruity finish. Great beer!

Very dense dark brown colored body, some garnet at the sides of the glass when swirled. Bandaid and sour oak nose, soil-heavy notes of tree bark and mold. Dense and chewy texture, incredibly thick and full on the tongue. Bit of slow leather, molasses and tar that coat the tongue in a tingly and prickly layer of scotch pine, jasper, dense, blackened raspberries and sweet citrus hops. Damn.

Bottle shared at local BA tasting. Poured a clear dark brown color with a minimal frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with virtually no lacing. Moderate to heavy tart citrus, good funk and wood aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy sour flavor with a medium to heavy sweet&sour finish of moderate to long duration. This is a standout beer for style.

My 1st beer of the MiBG Summer Fest 2009, Friday session: The pour was actually less than appealing, reddish muddy brown with almost no head. The aroma has notes of tart cherries, light funk, oak, herbal and earthy esters with a hint of chocolate and caramel. The taste is tart and twangy with nice light soft malt undertones. Expected JP yeast character that is earthy and bretty with dry woody notes. The mouth feel is soft yet mouth watering refreshing, dry finish but not bone dry. A lovely creation.
