| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Cloudy dark ruby beer - foamy, lasting head - lovely aroma, with a decent dose of tart, nearly sour cherry skins, with some raisin and date, wheaty tang, and clove phenols - earthy and rich - full, yet creamy carbonation in the mouth - not as tart as the aroma suggests, but it is still fairly dry, with rustic, earthy wheat - cherry skin and prunes - the yeast’s phenols arrive late, mostly clove and banana, reminding you of the style a bit more - some caramel late as well - tart and relatively complex - quite nice.
