Oct 26, 2009 Fairly sour on the nose, a bit like non-vintage Bollinger, but not as stomach-acidy. Weakish palate with rotting lemon peel. Long finish. Bottle says best before 2/1/10. Has it spent two years in the bottle already? Maybe it needs more age, but I’m not sure.

Oct 25, 2009 Transparent mahogany, nice beige head. Nose is a blast of balsamic, some light malt and possibly fruit beyond. After preparing myself mentally for the flavor, it wasn’t salad dressing I’d anticipated: heavy balsamic, but balanced with some berry and malt, lightly tart, and moderately carbonated. This is still definitely too much balsamic for me, but it is tolerable and quite nice for moments.

Oct 24, 2009 Clear chestnut amber, great white foam.
Aroma sour & sweet.
Fantastic heavy sweet and sour flavor, too much for a long drink. Dessert wine style.
Thick body, prickly / sour.
Lovely beer. No reason to buy a large bottle.

Oct 22, 2009 Pours dark brown tinted red with a tan head. Light malty aroma with some fruity tartness. Flavor is a nice sour over a solid malt backbone with a strong caramel finish.

Oct 20, 2009 Bottle. Clear amber/red pour with a big tan head and very carbonated. Malty aroma with a bit of caramel along with some red wine and tartness. Sweet red wine flavor with a touch of sourness with a bready finish. Not bad, but it’s too sticky and syrupy sweet for my liking.

Oct 20, 2009 A beautiful deep reddish brown pour with a vivacious beige head. Aroma first strikes me with the vinous qualities of a young port wine, with boatloads of fruity esters, caramel, and sherry. The oak profile is subtle but noticeable- perhaps dwarfed by copious fruit and some dark sugars. Flavor is oh so unique- a sweet caramel raisin character is complemented by tart nectar- apricot, pineapple, and peach. Dark fruit abounds, though the flavors still maintain a light refreshing tart vinous, light fruit character. Palate is a tad thin, highly effervescent, and finishes sticky but clean. Incredible and unique brew.

Oct 18, 2009 Pours amber with a big pillowy tan head. Aroma is sour cherries and other dark fruits, with a little bit of earthy woodiness. Flavor is sweet and sour caramel and dark fruits, with lots of tart cherry. Very good.

Oct 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours red brown, small head. Lactic acid astringent nose. Well balanced flavors, very quenching, less sour than Rodenbach. Quite complex for the ABV.
