Aug 28, 2008 Deep brown with some rust in colour, thin off-white coloured head, good lacing. The aroma has some balsamic vinegar, cherries, some sweetness, sour and tart with a bit of wood. The flavour is more sweet than sour but it really works here, cherry tartness, light sourness and smooth all at once. Tart mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes lingering, lots of cherries, some grape skins.
Wow, this was awesome, tart and sweet with perfect balance. I am very glad that I have more of this. Why mds called me "barn-tits" while drinking this I’ll never know.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle (RBESG 08): Hazy, brownish-reddish coloured, small, but persistent beige head; dark malt, aceto balsamico, caramel and wood in the nose; strong sour-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; long and longer balsamico-like finish, warming, too. Very impressive stuff..............

Aug 9, 2008 (6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Dark brown color. Aroma is very oaky with some berries and cherries notes and some caramelly maltiness. Sweet-sour flavor with oak, big dark fruitiness, caramel and some biscuits. Medium to full body with an oily mouthfeel. Good stuff but not my favorite.

Aug 5, 2008 Bottle sampled at RBSG ’08. pours with a cloudy, brown body topped by a thin head with little lacing. It’s tart and slightly sour with a slight sweet maltiness, a little oak and a nice underlying brett funk. Nice. Light bodied, smooth and a little dry.

Aug 5, 2008 Gigantic orgasmic wood nose bursting with brett and mildew. The brown color of this beer was like a work of art and i have no idea why...but it was topped with a thin, whispy tan head. The beer was malty and sour and super funky in a nice enjoyable clean way. the end of my notes say "clean funky love".

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle at Ebenezer’s. Deep and warm dark brown with low carbonation and little head. Slightly phenolic nose. Lots of overripe cherries and dates Unbelievably nuanced and totally Flemish. One of the most engaging and fun Flemish sours I’ve had. Sublime sweet, silky, almost licorice/anise entry that is an absolute turn-on. Then mellows into a more savory zone like a portabello mushroom marinated in teriyaki sauce. Sweet and astringent like balsamic reduction made with cherry and honey. Sensual, smooth, and lovely.
