May 10, 2009 Draft at The Livery.
Poured hazy copper color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate toasted malt, citrus and wood aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium balanced bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
My expectations where met with another very good brew from this house.

Nov 29, 2008 FoBAB 2008 and currently on tap: Pours a coppery hue with a thin but lasting frothy head. The aroma has notes of red fruits, oak, vanilla, whisky, caramel, phenolic alcohol, slight grassy and spicy hops, mild barnyard funk vapours. The taste starts with a bit of a palate shock of alcohol and wood, tart fruit, and grainy malts. Melts into more a bock once you get past the acidity and oak. The finish is crushing bone dry, much of sugar has been ate alive but the yeast, the body is once again too thin for the flavor profile IMO. Weird and different but not sour enough to be classified as a wild ale.

Dec 5, 2008 3rd rating, big thanks to Mike for this growler. Thought id put in a good rate so I could share the rest of it with people at Strong Ale tomorrow. Pours amberish with a head that quickly faded. Nose is sweet rich and tart with some nice malty notes. Taste is really quite complex with a very with vinious qualities, sweet malt, but really a big tart funky beer. The alcohol is also quite well hidden. Damn tasty!

Feb 11, 2009 Coppery amber pour w/white fluffy head. Nose is bourbon, wine, caramel, and alcohol. Big alcohol, by the way...very, very hot and dry. Flavors are sweet caramel, toffee, oak, bourbon, wine, and little to no hop bite. Sour finish...obviously picked up a good bit of funk in the various transfers to wood. Good.
