Jan 19, 2007 Certainly looks good...with a nice yeasty aroma, but disappoints in the taste. A slight sourish taste, accompanied by a watery finish.

Jan 14, 2007 Pours brown with some dark ruby hints with a one inch head that settles slowly to a rocky cap, leaving behind a nice webbing of lace.
Smell; sour and fruity, with cherries and plums. Some of the oakiness is there, but not as powerful as I was expecting, and there’s a little bit of chocolate in there as well.
Taste; The oak flavors come out more than the aroma led me to believe they would. There’s a nice sour fruitiness, with cherries, plums and maybe a touch of raspberries. It’s a bit drying in the finish due to the oak barrel aging. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, and is pretty easy to drink, even with the dryness.

Jan 5, 2007 Pours ruby brown. Musty aroma of oak and berries. Has a tart fruity flavor but it isn’t overwhelmingly tart like some beers of this style. I like how this beer manages to have the characteristics of a Oud Bruin without being too much. Oak characteristics shine through.

Jan 4, 2007 Clear ruby, thin tan head. Sourish, fruity-waxy snout. Raspberryish tartness and gentle oakiness, nicely balanced by a sweet, slightly smoky malt finish. Interesting but not quite delicious.

Dec 21, 2006 Dark brown color with a medium head. Moderate sour aroma with a hint of cherry. Good semi-sweet malt flavor with a bit of oak. The sourness is not heavily pronounced. Just a little bitterness on the end.

Dec 21, 2006 Aroma is sour and has plenty of oak overtones. Flavor has a good amount of woodyness and the flavor is less sour than the nose would have predicted. A decent beer with unique characteristics.
