Jul 20, 2009 Beer’s tenth rating. Would certainly seek out again, which was only true for a few I had at the fest. Color is an appealing brownish gold. Nose was subdued for me, with light mold, grain, wood and subtle fruit. Flavor was gritty, full with wood, tannin, berry and yeast. I think Olallieberry is better, but this is more refined.

Jul 20, 2009 Updated: Jul 21, 2009On tap at Stone Sourfest. Rating number 2200 for me! Pours with a large tan head over a brown body. Great lace. Aroma of dark cherry, barrel, red wine, caramel, lactose and plum. Taste caramel, toffee, wine, light herbs de provence, vinegar, berries, and dates. Medium carbonation silk mouthfeel. Excellent!

Jul 20, 2009 Color is sadistically orange-tinted brown, tan head. Sugary, malty nose with touches of Belgian yeast esters, cloves, cinnamon, and sun tan lotion. Belgian yeast & sour flavors with sugar malts, alcoholic cotton candy, and some hotness. Full body. Decent but not mind blowing.

Jul 19, 2009 Tap @ Stone Sour Fest Today. People had mixed feelings about this, I waited till I knew things were good with the lines and had it and enjoyed it quite a lot. Pours brown with a tan head. Nose is very tart, and sweet, with vinious qualities. Taste is sweet, tart, funky and WOW. Good work Steve and VB with another successful crazy beer.

Jul 16, 2009 (22oz bottle, courtesy of KrausenJockey at RBSG 2009 beer dinner) Pours a cloudy reddish-brown body with a few spare white bubbles around the rim. Aroma of dates, raisins, brown sugar, vinous, roasted malt, anise, oak, leather, and herbs. Flavor of sourness up front with yeast, vinous, raisins, plums, wheat, and some toffee with a dry finish. Superb!
