750ml bottle. Pours a cloudy brown color with red highlights. Thin white head that fades pretty quick but hangs around as a film of thin bubbles on the top of the brew. Very complex nose. Smells spicy, with red wine and oak.
Tastes complex as well. Tastes of spicy, dry red wine and oak, with some cherries in the aftertaste. The taste gets maltier as the brew warms. Medium body, nice carbonation, not too much, just right. This beer is like drinking a nice spicy, dry red wine. Nice slow drinkin’ complex brew.

Aug 19, 2008 750 ml bottle via the Saints club and shared with highibus - Pours a hazy deep amber color with some floaties and a medium size light tan head. No lacing. Aroma is tart fruit, oak, and vinegar. Flavor is dark esters, oak, and vinious. Medium body. The oak really lingers on the palate. A decent beer, but I think I like L & F better.

Aug 16, 2008 Updated: Aug 20, 2008Thanksto stevo for this one. Orangey brown, with a thin white ehad. Nice tart aroma, with notes of cherry and red wine. Flvor is very complex, but there are notes of cherry and some other tart, sour fruits mixed with a lot of oak and red wine character. Earthy, rustic finish. Very impressive brew.
