Mar 3, 2008 At first taste, this beer hits me with a very strong, green oak. Maybe more generic green wood than oak. Beyond that, though I enjoyed its sourness.

Feb 26, 2008 NorCal Feb ’08 - Not your everyday Belgian Strong is an understatement. A fantastic trip for your tastebuds to enjoy as this beer covers a lot of flavors most Belgian Strong’s don’t. The aroma is oaky, fruity with a strong emphasis on tart cherriess, bretty, and lightly acidic. Flavors are nearly on par with the nose, but adds some caramel sweetness up front like some kind of cherry/caramel dessert. It also has a subtle wine character to the whole beer, but maybe that’s the brett and oak coming together. Excellent beer!

Feb 26, 2008 Bottled (thanks omhper!). Hazy nutbrown colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is sour berries and acidic wood, some mild notes of cherries. Flavour is also very sour and acidic fruits and berries along with some earth and yeast. Very nice brew.

Feb 25, 2008 Bottled. Thanks to omhper for this crazy beer. Pours out in a cloudy reddish brown colour with a low creamy white foam. Plenty aromas screaming for attention tart red berries, melon, wood, cork, funk, over-riped cherries and dark malts. Woody and funky full flavour of stable, berries, grapefruit, pears soaked in syrup, juniper and pepper. Full-bodied. Woody long aftertaste lemon, immature raspberries, grapefruit and peppery alcohol. WOW!.

Feb 25, 2008 Bottled, thanks cquiroga! Cloudy amber, small creamy head.Woody nose with citric tartness and licorice. Despite it’s 10% it feels light and arousing, spreadign a sweet and sour sensation. Caramelly and fruity with vinous notes, as well as some barnyard character. Complex to the border of confusion. Even if I don’t really understand what I am drinking I know that I’d love to have some more.

Feb 19, 2008 Bottle shared by Marcus; I’m genuinely grateful. Slightly sour aroma accompanied by light stone fruit. Nice amber color with a flat beige head. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavors of roasted malt, oak and cherries. Lightly tart/sour. Finish is the same, but mellower. A very nice sour ale. Doubt the Belgians can do better.

Feb 13, 2008 Bottle shared by puzzl during the Giants superbowl win - thanks! Poured a light amber with slight white head. The aroma is full of apple, oak, and some sourness. The flavor is also sour, oaky, and a little fruity, mostly cherry. I really enjoyed this beer and I’m glad I got to try it.
