More like a marinade in my opinion. There is truly nothing like it. Haven’t had this in years do to lack of import but I hear one can get it again. One of my favorites. crowderm (285), Recklinghausen, Germany

Huge winey nose, followed by a huge winey flavor. Very interesting all around, but I cant say I would drink this on a regular basis.

This beer is far better the second time around. Makes me think something was wrong with the first bottle I had. Rasberry, cherries, citrus, red wine, wood. Sharp, but nicely balanced. A very good beer. hoplover406 (204), Crofton, Maryland, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 14, 2008 Big bottle. I think I’ve had this for the better part of a year....hope it’s good. Pour: Nut brown and ruby. Small white head. Aroma is very vinous at first then quickly changed to a fruity oakiness. Smells awesome! Taste is tart like a champagne. Lively carbonation with a dry finish. Delicious! maniac (2697), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 13, 2008 Pours a very dark amber color with a foamy off-white head. Very sour fruity aroma with hints of oak and vanilla. Intensely tart and acidic with a nice amount of sour cherry as well as oak and vanilla. Very sour with a puckering dry finish. dmac (1507), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 10, 2008 Bottle at Atlantic City Beerfest. Wow is this some super sour stuff. Flavor is intensely sour and definitely not for everyone. Either you will love it or hate it. Mark me down under the I love it catagory. durhambeer (1240), Durham, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Very drinkable, and I appreciate the lighter alcohol content. Dark amber pour and generous and lasting tan head. Nice aromas of sour cherries and vanilla oaky earthiness. Mouth-puckeringly dry, almost vinegary (but in a good way) finish. This is quite tasty.
