Beautiful red mahogany color and a small but good head. The aroma is vinous with notes of caramel and raisin. The flavour is very complex; it’s vinous med notes of caramel, citrus, plum, raisin, chocolate, berries, basement - and it’s truly nice! 1944

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.

The aroma is sour, tart, acidic, citric and light woody up front with milder tones of light roast, cherries, apples and earth alongside yeasty notes of mold, stable and barnyard. The flavour is medium tart, sour and citric with notes of cherries, light caramelly malt, green apples and earth. The mouthfeel is dry with a moldy palate. Medium bodied. A very nice sour.
