Jun 26, 2008 Pours a lightly hazy brown with a bunch of ruby notes and small bubbly off white head. Aroma of light strawberries, tons of bretty/lacto funkiness, floral, dark fruits, toasted malt, vinous, perfume, toffee, raspberry pie, I can’t stop sniffing this one and catching some different every time. Flavor of a light lacto/brett funkiness, berries, toasted malt, some nuts, floral, very dry and very tasty. Hard to put into words, this one is very unique. I had this after an aged Cuvee de Tomme...so these numbers are saying something.

Jul 21, 2008 On tap at Stone’s Sour Fest ’08. Dark, amber color. Sweetish. Mellow. Dark fruits, cherries, strawberries. Some oak in the aroma. Thick body. Excellent. 4.5-4.7. I heard this beer took 7 years to make as it includes a 7yr old strawberry lambic and a 5yr old cherry lambic, and it was one of the most expensive kegs at $200-$300/5gallon. Yow! 2 tickets=$6/4oz taster.

Jul 4, 2008 Thanks to TomDecapolis for sharing this treat. Poured brownish amber in color with a thin tan head. Aroma of strawberries and brett mostly, but notes of other fruits such as cherries and apples. Tastes of strawberries, sour cherries, light chocolate, funk, and other misc. fruits. Complex brew that was very enjoyable. Thanks again Tom!!!

Jul 21, 2008 Rating # 900! Tap @ Stone Sour Fest 2008. One of the better sours at the fest. Pours a hazed medium brown with a thin off white ring. Nose of tart berry fruits, flavor was a strange but awesome combo of tart cherries and strawberries with some oak and chocolate.

Aug 18, 2009 Draft@ MSBC 08.13/14.2009. Clear ruby red color with a frothy tan head. Nice citrusy lemon, sour cherry aroma with vanilla . First taste is tart lemon and sour cherries, then smooth vanilla and wood which tempers some of the sourness. After a few sips the earthy Cab Sauv kicks in, leading to a dry spicy finish. More rounded and complex now than last year when i first had this. Fantastic aged sour.

Jun 28, 2008 Poured a hazy brown red color with a small, creamy, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of leather, brett, some caramel, dried fruits, toast, and strawberry. Taste of sour cherries, nuts, strawberries, some caramel, and a tart finish. Thanks Tom!

Jun 27, 2008 Thank you Tom for sharing this gem! Poured a medium and cloudy amberish / brownish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of stawberries, some brett / funkiness, other berries, chocolate, and fruity. Chocolate covered tart berries. Tastes of lighter berries, some funk, lighter chocolate, caramel, and other fruits. Lively body. The tastes more on the subtle side vs. the fantastic aroma. I wrote down ’different’.

Apr 19, 2009 Transparent dark copper mahogany pour has a spotty-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and fresh tart black cherries with nice oaky complexity. Body starts with good fullness for a sour with the appropriate amount of carbonation, sweet Belgian maltiness, vinous oak and assertive tart fruity notes before a sweet-tart finish. An enjoyable and well-balanced sour ale.
