Oct 4, 2008 Can’t thank Jake (BlackForestCO) enough for this gem.
Beautiful cloudy brown that shimmers with red tones and a moderately-sized off-white head. Nose is tart and acidic with loads of wood, some raisin, sugary sweet berries, grapes... delicious. Flavor builds on this, increasing the sour components and the creamy lactic notes... superb balance. Palate is full and acidic, spritzy and refreshing, and near endless in grape and lactic wood. Drank 750ml and wanted more... absolutely superb stuff here.

Oct 3, 2008 Much thanks to dpjuart for letting me try this. I’ve been waiting for so long.. Cloudy red body with a thin tan head. Wonderful sour, acidic, funky aroma with loads of fruit and vinegar. Sharp, biting taste. Acidic, sour, and fruity, with lemon, cherries, strawberries and much more. Damn near perfect in my book. Beautiful.

Oct 3, 2008 Tastes and smells like oaked warhead candies, minus most of the sweetness. very tart cherry, green apple, bread. Crisp mouthfeel pairs well with the tartness of the beer. Pretty tasty overall.

Oct 2, 2008 Pours an off-white head. I tried for a while to figure out what this smells like. Tuna Noodle Casserole. Absolutely. With some wood. Flavor: Luckily it doesn’t taste like Tuna Noodle Casserole. Cherry, some sour apple. It’s more tart, than sour. Fruity tartness. Sourdough. The wood in this is really not good I have to say. I think it is responsible for tuna casserole.

Oct 2, 2008 Thanks to BOLTZ7555 for the trade! A dark brown color with an off white head that leaves a tad of lacing. Aroma is tart fruit with a hint of oak. Flavor is tart as hell. It’s like drinking the sour candy I used to eat as a kid, and I pretty much love it. There’s a nice presence of earthy woodiness to it as well. Delicious as hell beer.

Oct 1, 2008 9/13/08 - 750 ml bottle shared with Exec Board. Pours murky brown with rimming chocolate/khaki head. Sugary sweet carame, sour/vinegar notes. Taste is sour apple with mild cherry, tart as hell, with brown sugar and mild sourdough notes. Oh, and did I mention sour? Nicely balanced. Good stuff.

Sep 25, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of tart-ish cherries, raspberries, musty brett, unusual chocolate notes, and a pretty strong malt presence left. Flavor extremely acidic, bordering on vinegary, but still contains that rich, earthy, sour malt with light oak. Very good.
