| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 14, 2007 (Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Grovlam. Pours a clear, beautiful ruby red colour with a small, rough, beige head. Fantastic tart aroma of wood and dried fruit - extremely vinous. Medium in body and almost flat. Flavours are again raisins, wood and grapes, lots of sourness and a metallic edge. Underneath the sourness lurks a very distinct sweetness. This is one fantastic sipper. Extremely delicious. 080707 Jukkabro (3018), Tampere, Finland
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 11, 2007 Dark red, near black colored, little yellow head. Rich aroma indeed with sourness, and berries, licorice, mild smoke, mild bubblegum and nice alcohol, deep and complex one. Medium to full bodied. Flavor has also strong sweet and sour sides, licorice and vinous tones also present. Aftertaste turns to nicely dry and hopped after sweet start, still some licorice lasts with mild alcohol. Extremely complex though very sweet brew. yespr (12135), Copenhagen O, Denmark

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jul 5, 2007 Poured a muddy brown with a white head that didn’t last long. Aroma consisted of a winelike quality with a sourness also present. The taste was very similar to a gueze, very funky and sour with some granny smith apple and cherry tartness. As it warmed the taste went from a sour to more of a sweet finish. tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 3, 2007 Strong black cherries in the citric aroma with notes of beeswax, leather, and horseblanket. Opaque darkest brown, almost black coloured body is topped by a decent and lasting off white head. Sour cherries are well matched by expansive malt sweetness. Light underlying sourness offers a counterpoint. Medium full body with very lively, soft bubbled carbonation. Sampled with Oakes in January 2007.
