100th rating! 2008 bottle thanks to IrishBoy! Pours a deep brown, nearly black with a tan head that dissipates pretty quick. Smell is really thick and spicy, with strong hints of alcohol. There’s some cherries there if you smell hard. Taste is unbelievably complex, unlike anything I’ve ever had before. It’s very sweet at first, with strong hints of cherries that sort of last throughout the taste. After the initial sweetness, it gets really tart fairly quick. A lot of the spicyness alcohol from the nose is pretty much gone. It finishes up a little bit smoky, or sort of oaklike, but not very strong. Tastes almost like what I’d imagine a really good fruit wine to taste like. Mouthfeel is nice, carbonation isn’t too high, and it’s not too thick, but it isn’t exactly watery either. Very enjoyable, if a bit intense with respect to the sour cherry sort of flavour it has.

thanks cmubeerman. I’ll start by saying this is just a sour version of judgement day. Nutty color with a thin white head. Aroma of caramel, alcohol, figs, dates, raisins and toffee. Not overly sour tasting - grapefruit, oak, quite bretty. Overripe fruit.

Bottle (2008) at home - thanks to Sune for sending this !!! Dark nutbrown - offwhite head. Cherry, raisins, bourbon, vanilla, sourness, brett, bike-glue, cinnamin, dark fruits, sweetness, tart,spicy, vinous and warming. Very smooth and harmonic. I Love This VeryMuch.

zero head, my pour was really swampy and opaque. sour rotten fruit aroma, and a bit of alcohol. hot aroma, though i wouldn’t say it’s alcohol, strange as that is. tastes flat, very sweet, lots of fruit, excellent.

Bottle ’08: Thick chestnut brown pour with a tiny tan head. Fruity and sour notes. Tart as well. Hints of sour apple and cherries. Smooth and creamy mouthful into a fruity and sour/tart blend that smooths out into a nice, mellow barrel aged finish. Vinous and sour too. Delightful!!! Thanks Seth!

Sample thanks to Drewbeerme. Dirty brown color with small than head. Funky cherry aroma with sour, oaky, tartness. Oak and grape upfront with cherry, winery, some alc, dirty, funky, refreshing and medium sweetness. Medium and sour body. Amazing, so drinkable yet so sour.

37.5 cL bottle. Pours almost fully clear and golden amber to brown with a lacing off-white head. Smooth fruity aroma with notes of prunes and raisins. Sweet malty to light barrel wooden base flavour with a great raisin to prune flavour swept through. Light acidic touch to a dense caramel malty and fruity finish. Stunning. Had a sample from an 03 vintage too.

375 ML Bottle-Saints & Sinners 2008-Trade w/kp-Dark cherry/mahogany color w/no head. Huge aroma of cherries & dark fruit; very winelike. Sweet flavor which features the cherries right up front, but also has flavors of raisens, yeast, & cane sugar. Tart, sour, w/some tannins to it, but they don’t overpower it; again, very winelike. Very different, but very good. Great beer to have w/a steak, or as an after dinner drink.
