Bottle at Port Brewing. The bartender opened one of these for us and shared it with everyone at the bar. Very thoughtful. Nice caramel color, the aroma is sour malt. The taste is incredibly complex and interesting. Creamy yet sour with a sharp bite. Some caramel in the flavor. Totally unique. Very good would buy again

I was able to reserve this bottle by attending the Lost Abbey 1st Annual Barrel Tasting event on Aug. 25, 2007. Pours clear amber with thin tan head. The aroma is big and bold with fruity raspberries, red wine grapes mixed with oak, tartness from red wine tannins and berry tartness and a hint of yeasty spice. The taste starts with a load of notes hitting all at once with fruity apple, raspberry mixed with red wine. The taste dries out toward midway with red wine tannins and fruity tartness leading to fresh oak. The mild tartness and tannins grow into the finish. Well underneath I get notes of the beer base with caramel sweetness, fruit cake and yeasty spice.

What a neat perfume, sour cherry aroma, very unique. Nice dark mahogany appearance. Very malty, dried fruit flavor, alright but not my favorite.

On tap at brewery. Cloudy brown with no head. Amazingly complex aroma and taste of brown sugar, whiskey character, grapes, and vanilla with notes of dark fruit and red wine. Excellent!!!!
