Wonderfull and intense sweet sour finish which lasts for ages. matta (1139), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 18, 2009 What an outstanding beer! I dig the way the wood plays with the fruity character of the ale, BIG notes of caramel, ripe cherry, plums, dates, hints of vanilla, almonds, and blackberry. Sweet caramel maltyness, and a very mild tartness on the back end. I would drink this all the time if (A) it were available all the time & (B) I could afford to. The mouthfeel is velvety and supple and finishes with the complex hints of an old oxidized Port wine. Lovely beer! zvikar (433), Tel-Aviv, Israel

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Bottle. Moderate cookie for the malt, citrusy hops, heavy must and mold for the yeast, with wood, vinegar and toffee in the background. Head is small, fizzy that thins to wispy with larger bubbles, off-white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear dark copper. Palate is medium, watery but a little slick, with a lively carbonation and a dry finish. Very bold and deep, my brother said this was off compared to the last one he had, so I’ll give it a re-rate when I get a chance. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA
