jrob21 (1249), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Nov 7, 2009 Aroma is dominated by sourness and cherry and is really spot on. Makes you want to chug this thing all at once. Almost a sour patch kid sort of puckeriness on first sip that you get slightly used to as you get through your drink. Nice cherry flavor working throughout with a touch of wood to give this some added depth. Almost no carbonation so this is a very smooth and palate smothering drink. Really nice sour experience. andersand (271), Malmö, Sweden Nov 5, 2009 Looks ok, murky brown with minimal head. Aroma is intense sour with all sorts of cherries, cherry pits and wood. Flavour is similar but with additional complexity, rather woody with berry fruit notes. Ends acidic without being harsh. BuckeyeBoy (1635), Boise, Idaho, USA Oct 29, 2009 2009 GABF Tasters Pours out a dark brown topped with a small head. Aroma was of oak, cherries, pit fruit, and some rich funkiness. Taste was more of the cherries and sour. Also some malts very nice. I have been wanting to try this one for some time now. kappldav123 (1786), Markkleeberg, Germany Oct 20, 2009 The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Dark brown, modest turbid, small head. Starts intense fruity, like cherry and raisins, some chewing-gum, increasing sourish notes. Finish woody, very sourish and complex. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Big thanks to giarcsr for that bottle! Enjoyit (1695), Vadum, Denmark Oct 20, 2009 Unclear amber of color with a beige head. An aroma of cherries, sour and horseback. An aroma of cherries, dry and sour. Jblauvs (528), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Oct 16, 2009 Dark red brown pour with a slight beige head. Aroma is strong cherry, oak, vinegar, tobasco, and funk. Taste is a bold explosion of sour cherry vinegar and tobasco with some underlying caramel toffee. Lots of acid, strong fruit, very oaky and pretty tart. This Rocks. nickd717 (1265), Palo Alto, California, USA Oct 12, 2009 Another great sour from the Flat - I mean Lost - Abbey. Just kidding Tomme, for all the heat you take, you shut us up with some great beers. This is one of them. Bottle pours hazy dark reddish-amber with a small, lasting off-white head. Aroma is tart berries with cherries standing out, oak, red wine vinegar, sweet malt, and funk. Flavor is tart, but not too much so, with some sweetness to balance lending caramel and toffee notes. Loads of cherries, raspberries, and red wine. Also some oaky barrel notes and vinegar/lemon tartness on the finish. Palate is medium-bodied and sharp with higher than average carbonation. This is a great beer overall. Beer2000 (1775), Kristiansand, Norway Oct 10, 2009 375 ml bottle. Slightly unclear, reddish amber body with a diminishing tan head. Aroma is acidic, red berries, brett and vinegar. Flavor is refreshing, acidic, sour fruity like raspberry and cherry, some bitterness and a dry finish. Complex and delicious.
