Commercial Description:
This bold Belgian Style Ale is a blend of 4 sources of fermentable sugars. American Oak, sour cherries, and three seperate strains of brettanomyces. It takes over a year to make each batch because a beer like this requires patience, creativity, and most importantly, equal parts luck and skill. We know of no other beverage in the world that tastes like this.

Hazy amber reddish beer with no head. Malty, light tart aroma with a yeasty and woody note. Tart fruity flavor with a faintly soapy touch and some sweet alcohol n the finish.

Pours dark red/brown with no head. Has a strong smell of port. Quite sour with aromas of berries, yoghurt, wood and alcohol. Medium to full bodied. Too sour and rather dissappointing for a beer rated this high.

Rerate, May 2nd 2008 at the brewery. Pours a clear brown with an off-white diminishing head. Light sweetness with a moderate sourness and a light bitterness. Aromas of sour cherries and cranberries. Medium bodied with a slightly stickty mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. Dry finish with more aromas of sour cherries.

Deep brown/orange beer, no head. Big acetic aroma, cherries, sweet malts. Massive sour Flemish character. Flavour is sweet, malty, chewy, toffeeish. Tart, lactic finish. A good beer, but I can’t help but think it’s overrated. I’d rather drink a Rodenbach.

Thanks to JohnC for bringing this to our bigfoot vertical tasting. Taste is smokey with understated cherry notes. Oak comes through and there is a cranberry finish. Definnitely need to try this one again.

Thanks to Zathrus13 for this one. Pours brown with a slight tan head. Aromas of wood, cherries, and toffee dominate. Taste is woody with some nice scotch like buttery qualities and a strong tart element. Finish is smooth and the mothfeel is full.

Several pours at the 3rd Annual FoBAB in Chicago (on tap!). Dark brown... almost blood red, with a medium, fizzy tan cap of head. So much going on in the aroma... funky brett, sour cherries, oak, and lots of vinous notes. Tart, sour, and prickly on the palate... each sensation distinct, and each memorable. Sour cherries and vinous flavors right from the beginning. Oak was secondary and imparted some vanilla and earthy characteristics. Brett also added some funkiness in there, and there was some caramel to hold it together. Sour, slightly sticky, and tannic finish left the mouth watering. Complexity and intrigue of this one were second to none. Enjoyed every minute of it!
