special bottling 0f 2008; 15 months in pinot noir. Thanks to Bill Sobieski for proving his love with this bottle. Yes Bill, I will marry you. spikes of sour, apple vinegar quickly morph into a earthy, gorgonzola cheese rind and then into sour fruit tones. A glorious palate-rape. Thin head--the lace cant stand up to what’s happening beneath...color also foggy gold...no clue there to the ride you’re about to go on. rolled this one out with fresh watermelon and gorgonzola. Yes, kids, I was gangbanged..

5L (i think??) bottle poured by Vinnie at NHC pro brewer night. Poured a deep yellow color. Nose is a fruity sourness, some wood, and a ton of cherries. Flavor is sour cherry, some wine, acidic vinegary notes. Nicely carbonated, dry and sour! Beauty!

6/18/09 from magnum. Aroma is rich, spritzy honey with more sweetness than sourness. Appearance is hazy tan with a moderate maintained white head. Flavor is more sour but very well balanced. Mouthfeel is moderate bodies with a medium high carb feel.

Bottle Batch 003. Sour cherry flavors dance on the palate with a slightly acidic finish. To sum it up in a word...delicious!

Bottle from Pantanap. Batch 002. Pours amber orange color with thin white head. Aroma is mainly of sour cherries. It tastes quite sour with oak and cherry flavors. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks Kan!

Pours clear orange amber with a lacy white head. Sour cherry aroma. Oaky sour cherry taste. I take back all the bad things I’ve said about aging beer in Pinot Noir barrels. This stuff is great!

Bottle pours a dark orange-amber, with thick, pillowy beige head. Nose of sour cherries, chocolate, caramel, black tea, oak, pralines. Drinks with a juicy sourness, just a touch of fruity sweetness in back of the throat. Light-bodied and well attenuated with certain lambic leanings. Cherry aroma is notable but subdued. Mouthfeel only lightly lively. Goes a little dry but I wish it was drier. Overall it’s terrific, tart, and begs for serious consideration and serious cheese.
