Sinner’s club. Brownish ale color. Intense taste of sour cherry and tart. Incredible flavor of cherry and brett. Man. This is an amazing sour red/brown. Really enjoyable.

[Bottle] shared by STLWill. Pours hazy caramel with red highlights and a small beige head. Aroma is oaky, cherry, and some sharp acidity. Flavor has a hint of light bourbon, cherry, oak, and medium tartness.

Red brown with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, cherries, vanilla, cognac and cabernet-sauvignon-like berries. Sweet and tart flavour of cherry and red wine, with American oak.

Big thanks to TimE for sharing this bottle with me. Deep ruby/brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is full of oak, sour cherries, light vanilla, some spices, I think some chocolate, and just a bit of must. Beings rather sour with noticeable cherries, then the oak bulls its way through leaving you feeling abused- but in a good way. Some vanilla, light spicing, I picked up a little caramel in the flavor, as well. Finish has sweet, sour berries. Stunning.

Bottle courtesy of pantanap. Poured a hazy reddish brown color with a thin off-white head. Aroma is of oak, cherries, and lactobacillus. Full bodied with very soft carbonation. Flavor is tart, sour cherries and wood, mildly sour overall but very acidic and vinous. Finish is mouth drying acidity. This is the first sour that I’ve ever truly enjoyed, I will definitely seek this out again. Thanks Kan!

Drank with Cappa at my place. Med brown color, massive sourness exudes far from the glass and hits your nose. Upon further investigation, sour cherries are clearly present, as well as oak, and faint hints of cinnamon and chocolate. The mouth starts tart and then a massive blast of oak comes up. Very well hidden alcohol. Very well balanced between the oak and sour cherries. Amazing depth. Everything is fairly big and out there and to a point, is verging on a very oaky Pinot if there every could be such thing. Definitely some berries (raspberries, blackberries?) in the background. Seriously this is more vinous than I could have imagined. That is not a bad thing at all. Slight alcohol warming finish. Awesome.

Bottle sample thanks to STLWill. Brown pour, a little carbonation and a great aroma of boozy cherries. Flavor was also up front with very sour cherries, and then mellowed with a little dry sweetness on the finish.

750ml bottle. Poured a muddy brown. No head at all completely flat. I was a little worried. Aroma is somewhat muted from the lack of carbonation. Sour cherry with substantial caramel and bourbon notes. Some definite woodiness in the nose as well. Deep rich palate. Very very light carbonation, which I don’t think is intentional. Starts off somewhat acidic with sour cherry. MIddle has heavy notes of caramel and wood. Finishes with a some vanilla and bourbon and a lingering acidic sourness. Really really amazing. Worth the money. Hopefully the figure out the issue with the carbonation because this could have been in my top 3.
