Jul 16, 2007 Pours a dark brown color w/ a small whispy tan head and not much lacing. Aroma has the lightly tart fruits to it you expect from brett but it is a bit overwhelmed by the roast character some light leather and vanilla aromas come through as well. Palate is tart & well coated lacks any real thickness though. Flavor is a bit of tart fruitiness some dry oak hints of raisen and a small amoutn of dry roasty coffee. It’s ok.. not stellar by any means.

Jul 9, 2007 Updated: Jul 10, 2007Bomber. Clear medium ruby-brown color with a small head. Aroma is medium to dark malt with funky barnyard (brett). Taste is sour brett, medium malt, raisins, oak and spiciness. Saisons usually aren’t my favorite style, but I liked this a lot better than average in it’s class. I’ve got to try more black saison’s.

Jun 25, 2007 Bottle and served in my Duval glass: Deep brown hue with a thin frothy head that left good lace upon the glass, The aroma has notes of light brett induced funk and sourness, cherry, mineral essence, wood, smoky malts and dark breads. The taste is sour has expect but hardly over-the-top and works well within the framework of the brew with a malts more a backdrop. Again, much like the sourness, the funk is very much kept in check and adds a nice depth. The finish is dry, woody, and a touch burnt. The mouth feel is lively and refreshing. This beer is greater as a whole that the parts let on and is vastly underrated IMO. If you are a fan of Flemish Sours it should be a must try.

May 26, 2007 The aroma is vinuous with some malts detectable, and a hint of sour. Almost black in apperance with thin head. Medium palate. The flavor starts with a tangy malt, some sour green apples, fruits and light wood. Very complex taste, and enjoyable.

May 12, 2007 I really like Two Bros as a brewery; they do a lot of different things. This beer does not strike me as very saison-ish. Rather, it is much more like a kriek in its flavor...with a good amount of roastiness. I would compare to Central Waters Brewer’s Reserve Cherry Stout. It is more interesting than my rating would indicate. Recommended.
Color is black and opaque. Head is almost nonexistent; by heavily pouring into my glass, I was able to generate a little bit of very loose head. Aroma is lightly roasty but mostly sour. Flavor is of dark roast, but mostly a very heavy bitter cherry flavor. Mouthfeel is unremarkable, but not bad.

May 3, 2007 Bottle sampled at the hampton thanks to xnoxhatex for bringing this. Pours a dark brown with a off white head. Sour fruit in the nose, cherry and a little chocolate. Sour fruit flavors as well brett, oak, tart and dry. I tried this when it came out and there was so much chocolate that it made for a strange and unbalanced beer. But now the chocolate is in but a hint as the brett seems to have devoured most of those sugars and left a sourness that balances the sweet and spice out well. Decent beer.
