Mar 24, 2008 Appearance: 15 to 20 CM pour or not, you still get a near black body with nearly no head to speak save a few beige bubbles.
Smell: Interesting potluck aroma with wild, varying notes, including: Ricola herb pastilles, balsamic vinegar, smoke, and top soil.
Taste: Sweet (yet somehow also savory) and plenty fruity. You get plums, black cherries, and even grilled pineapple soaked in red wine. Handful of salt licorice, a puff of smoke, and a piece of chewed barley-flavored gum. Light lactic sourness throughout. Dash of black pepper in the tart finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s certainly different, I’ll give it that.

Mar 22, 2008 750 ml bottle thanks to papsoe. Very dark. Not was I was expecting. Not much head. Sour cherry aromas. Sour raspberries in there too. Sweetness comes in during the middle of the flavor more than anywhere else. Especially the aroma. Not much sweetness on the nose. Some earthy tones come through the sweetness too. Very good. Favorite of the night.

Mar 18, 2008 Capped & corked 750 from madsberg - thanks Mads! Mahogany red with almost no head. Tart berries lead the nose, sweetarts, a bit of wood. Sour as they come, tart cherry and raspberry, somewhat vinous, lightly woody. I love these sours, and wish my stomach would allow me to drink more...

Mar 11, 2008 2008-02-29. Dark brown body with a smallish tan head. (3+) Smells like a sour brown... modest underlying grains and malt. Sour brown ale flavour, malt, light fruit throughout, mild sour cherry. Average palate. Excellent for the style but I have only a superficial appreciation for it, and find the sour quite dominant over any nuances it contains.

Mar 8, 2008 Poured from a 330 cl bottle, thanks to Zac. Murky and dark toffee colored in appearance. Aroma gives wet carpet and vinegar, urinal, sour chemicals, raisins, hints of apple. Lots of cocoa dust and firey balsamic vinegar in the flavor; farmy and acidic with lemon and lime juice, with some vanilla, dried oak, raw brettiness and some cayenne and animalistic funk. Palate is furiously acidic but still smooth; dense but lighthearted. Beautifully sour and complicated, almost too much here to really comprehend.
