Sep 11, 2004 Updated: Jan 30, 2005Poured a mahogany color with a small head. Initial aroma was big sour with some vinegar. Black cherries and more sour in the taste. Slightly astringent with a dryish finish. Reminded me of the OLD Fantome Black Ghost of 3 or so years ago tho slightly watery. Probably because of the low ABV which I found to be really the only drawback.
Update-Now that I have had several bottles of this stuf I love it more and more. Obviously not a session beer but a near godly sour nonetheless.

Sep 4, 2004 Deep reddish color with small tan head. Aroma is slightly sour with a definite balsamic vinegar like base. Flavor is also slightly sour, malty, some cherry notes, a touch of sweetness. Palate is a little thin.

Sep 3, 2004 Pours with a little beige foam that is gone within seconds.Dark brown but with maybe a shade of deepgarnet tossed in for good measure.big wonderful nose of sour cherry,almost has a spicey,not like mexican food,but a nice aromatic spice.Funky in a cool way with that cherry aromatic funk on a sour sleigh sliding on over my taste buds.Dry finish.Not my style but a good brew.

Aug 26, 2004 I just had this on draft at the Drafting Room in Exton, and I was pleasantly surprised. Poured ruby with a minor white head. Aroma of huge cherry, malt, merlot. Tastes malty, with big cherry, fruit, and merlot flavor and a smooth, crisp finish. Very nice.

Aug 25, 2004 Deep mahogany, nice mocha head. Nose sour and sweet, some interesting coffee characters in the malts. Flavor starts sweet, then comes on with a strong aggressive vinegar sourness and tart apple fruitiness. Ends with malts of a very bready and toasty nature.

Aug 18, 2004 Super delicious beer, dark mahogany in color with just enough head, nice lacing around the glass, sour nose with hints of raspberry & other fruits, both sweet & sour flavors in the body with more notes of raspberry & apple, very drinkable, would make an excellent beer for dessert

Aug 17, 2004 On tap. Poured a dark mahogany color with a small white head. Aroma and tastes of sour apple and some caramel. After drinking 5 IPAs tonight, this was a nice change up (I used this as my dessert beer tonight).

Aug 7, 2004 Very dark brown color, almost black. Head was a reasonable amount, and had a bit that lingered. The aroma is a nice sourness, with a somewhat acidic feel. In fact, the aroma makes you think this is more sour that it really is. Once its warmed up a bit, its a very nice sweetness similar to cherries. The mouthfeel to this is a very nice rubbery smoothness.
