Sep 17, 2009 Tap at the Blind Tiger. Lightly tart, sweet, prune aroma, sweetish and malty and nice. Great, punchy vinegar flavor, with a sweet malt body. Deep and intriguing and complex. Tastes very much like a blend between an Imperial Stout and a traditional Flemish Brown. Excellent.

Sep 13, 2009 Tap @ Blind tiger. Dark ruby brown pour with some tan head. Sour cherries, dark fruits and balsamic flavor. Somehow can’t get over that balsamic flavor.

Sep 13, 2009 Tap at Blind Tiger. Deep brown/ruby pour. The nose is loaded with oak and a bit of light acetic tartness. Quite rich and chewy with a fairly unusual dankness on the back. There is a little bit of acetone through the middle, but this is manageable and it lends a light fruitiness. There is also a distinct toasty/nutty malt component in the middle that is really unusual in this style. A touch of grainy sweetness, but it seems to add complexity rather than simply seeming unfinished. A little bit of molasses underneath. It’s a fairly unique concoction but I do like it

Reddish pour w/ a big tall pink head. Light fruit & a lot of spice maybe come corriander and a few others mixed in as well. Full well coated lightly creamy palate. Warming swallow lots of sweet cherries subtly blended after some sweet bread and spice.. A very nice beer.
Aged Mont-M... cherry something it was called.

Sep 8, 2009 Draft. Pours a dark rustic brown with ruby undertones and a tan creamy head. Sour raisins and tart cherry skins. Green grapes and a tart pulpy vinous cherry tone. Lighter balsamic and spicy earthiness. The highlight of the Blind Tiger promo IMO.

Sep 7, 2009 [On-tap at GTMW ’09] Pours red with a pink head. Aroma is nice and full of cherries, with a little spice--clove, cinnamon and all spice. Taste is mainly cherry with mulling spices, with yeast coming in towards the back end. Medium mouthfeel, incredibly smooth and has a long finish. Very drinkable beer that I could have had a lot of if I’d had more time. Overall a quality beer.

On tap at the Blind Tiger at their Kuhnhenn event. Pours a deep chocolate brown with a thin tanned beige head. Chocolate, wine cork, port, cherry. Milky, light lactic, fruit, caramel. Finishes with a little tartness and some roast. Quite liked this one.

Sep 5, 2009 Draft, at Blind Tiger. Pours murky deep brown, capped with a big tan head. Aroma of wood, tart cherry, green apple, and soy sauce. Cherry and cherry pits are the predominant flavors, along with other dark fruit, wood, earth, and a little balsamic vinegar. Tart cherry lingers on the palate. Accessible and very drinkable sour ale.
