Tastes that of a nice port, very interesting. Totally worth a try.

This Flemish red ale has plum like sour but inherently sweet taste. The dark brown appearance with rich creamy foam is really unforgettable. hombrepalo (777), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 11, 2009 On tap @ Hopleaf. Finally got around to try this and boy was I impressed. This poured a reddish brown with a smallish head. The aroma reminds me of balsamic vinegar, with a little sour cherry thown in. There is a real sweet & sour thing going on with the flavor - very appealing. Some fruit (cherry again), oak, red wine, and sour. Great complexity. Very smooth. Medium to heavy carbonation. I really like this one.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 9, 2009 Pours a beautiful burgundy colored brown. Smell is more of a port wine than a beer. The aroma is of ripe fruit, alcohol, slight vinegar, dark malts, and spice notes. Taste is a bit hard to describe it is more like a wine, yet the fruit and aged oak flavor come through nicely. Very good beer, worth the cost! tokyogoat (529), San Diego, California, USA

Tons and tons of head billows out fo the glass. not a gusher, but really foamy.
Aroma is strong on earthy tones , sour, and vinegar notes.
Flavor is woody, tart cherry, and mild wine acid and vinegar.
nice funk to it, but not too funky. all flavors play well. aletales (73), , Oklahoma, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 6, 2009 tried just a little bit of this as my first real "sour" ale. Beautiful color and head. Interesting tartness fading into sweetness in the finish. Plan to try again and rerate when I have more.
