Apr 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with red showing throughout, very subtle, almost non-exsistant brown head. Aroma is vinous blend of fruit, wood and a very subtle touch of sweet vinegar in the background. Flavor is a really nice blend of grapes, raspberries, wood and a nice sourness that puts it all together.

Apr 14, 2009 Many thanks to the great mreusch for this bottle. Pours a hazy dark orange/brown with zero head. Earthy and sweet for a sour. Im getting a lot of caramel, along with tart cherries, sugar, apples, wood, plum, and vinegar. Thick mouthfeel, escpecially for a sour. Good, but quite odd and non-refreshing.

Apr 14, 2009 very dali-esque bottle by way of psprings... again.
dirty brown color with no head... ok, maybe four bubbles in a small ring.
this smells like homemade red wine vinegar with some brown sugar mixed in to it!... red wine, wood, cheesy funkiness and some tang.
it tastes like very mellow aged balsamic without the eye watering sourness... it is very well balanced with a solid brown sugar/malt structure and slight tannic finish. there are red wine and floral notes in there as well as some faint vanilla.
medium body has some richness to it from the sugars. slick mouth feel is balanced with dryness...7/4/7/4/17/3.9

Apr 9, 2009 33cl bottle. Pours a deep amber color with a small off white head. Nose is vinous, tart, metallic, dark fruits, vinegar. Initial taste is mollasses, vinous tart cherries, vanilla, caramel, wood, grapes. Mid palate displays the well balanced acidity, hints plum and light metals? On the finish get some slight notes of tobacco and cocoa. Very dry. Above average palate duration, mild alcohol spice. Average head retention. Light to medium body. Very drinkable and delightful experience.

Mar 27, 2009 2007 bottle. Drank all by myself. Color is brown with reddish highlights through the light. No head and almost no carbonation. Aroma is very bright and tart with cherry and grapes and wood. Taste is a bit astringent and very woody with some nice tart fruit. Very smooth with hints of wine, oak, grapes, plum, sour cherry and citrus. Very acidic and dry. Very good.

Mar 27, 2009 Sampled at hellbilly’s hellraiser 3 gathering. Bottle courtesy of psprings. Hazy brown pour with reddish highlights and little head. Aroma and flavor of raspberry, vinegar, funk and wine. Pretty good, but reminded me a bit too much of salad dressing. Very glad to have tried though. Thanks Paul!

Mar 15, 2009 Bottle: Dark brown pour with shades of ruby. No real head to speak of. Strong aroma of vinous and dark fruits. Light oak and vanilla. Sweet and tart. The flavor is rich and thorough in the sour and tart qualities. Light oaky notes. A deep vinous element with some hints of sherry. Lingering sour and pucker-your-mouth finish. Very nice.
