| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 8, 2009 Draft at redlight. Pours a pretty still looking copper amber color with a fleeting film of head. The aroma is very acetic with soured dark fruits, old earthy wood, and a hint of nail polish remover. The flavor follows these lines with old wood and soured dark fruits to go with the acetone and rubber flavors. The flavors just seemed to be all wrong on this one. Thin bodied and lacking carbonation with some acetone and alcohol burn on the finish. This is not what I was hoping for.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 3, 2009 Draft at Redlight Redlight. The pour yields a nearly still, dark copper colored body with just a thin film at the head. There’s no lacing left behind. The aroma is acetic, almost astringent, with notes of old, moldy, earthy wood, soured dark fruits, and harsh alcohol coming across strong. Flavors aren’t any better, again dominated by old wood and tart, vinous fruits, with hints of rubber and acetone that just foul things up terribly. The body is weak and poorly carbonated, finishing with too much alcoholic burn. This one came out all wrong. SoLan (1426), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Draft at RedLight. Dark copper/amber, minimal carbonation. A ton of acetic, some earthy dirt, sour cherry juice. A bit of rubbery band aid in the flavor, weird brew. Medium body, juicy. 4.4-40 (875), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Draft at redlight. Lacking carbonation. Aroma of wood, alcohol and sherry. Flavors of more wood, red wine and sweet bread. bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 28, 2009 Tap at Redlight. Smells very good, with a soury tart fruity wine kind of thing. This falls really short in the feel and taste. The lack of carbonation I think really killed it. The aftertaste has some neat malty flavors. But nothing terribly special. dchmela (1440), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 25, 2009 Pours a hazy red/brown with a wispy head. Lacks any carbonation. Really nice aroma of wine barrel, dark fruit, cinnamon and slightly sour. Taste is very thin, lacks body, has lots of sour wine barrel notes, raisin, sweet malt. I’d like to rerate this when it can get more carbonation, otherwise a little disappointing.
