Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Deep amber in colour but very sweet in taste. Thick and intense. I paired this beer with cold radish kimchi and it was magical. The deep cherry flavour mixed well with the slight kick of the kimchi... creating a strange (but good) mix of thick sweet and spicy flavours. Saved a little for after dinner and continued to enjoy. Best enjoyed slowly.

Aug 18, 2008 Draft at Brouwer’s. Pours nearly black with a dense, thick, fluffy tan head. Big sour cherry, oak, and balsamic vinegar. Maybe a little bit of strawberries and moss in there as well. Creamy medium body with active though soft carb. Mid-palate is a wonderful whirl of cherries, oak, and vinegar. Wonderful easy-drinking stuff; almost appropriate for sessioning and definitely appropriate for dessert. A triumph of recipe and execution for sure.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle. Dark reddsih brown with a little light brown head. Aromas of berries, sugar, spice and wood. Flavour is fresh and sour at first, but ends with a good amount of sweetness. Lovely and very drinkable - I could drink this every day!

Aug 13, 2008 (Bottle). Much has already been said on both extremes about this beer, and truthfully I was expecting to be repulsed. However, to the contrary, I experienced this as quite delightful. Sour and sweet, in both aroma and taste, a delicate and complex blend. Deep brownish red in color with off white head. Not for everyday drinking, but a great choice when the desire is for something unique and different.

Aug 10, 2008 I think this is a ’Love it or Hate it’ beer. Its aroma tastes much like balsalmic vinegar with hints of Worcestershire sauce. The aroma is deceiving, though and the flavor comes through with a beautiful sweet and sour profile. Lots of sugar and a very balanced finish hidden in the palate if you can dig through the nose and the initial flavor. I liked it, but I have heard that it is much better on draft.

Aug 10, 2008 Best before 17-03-06. Hazy brown pour with a fizzy tan head and a little spotty lace. Cherry and vinegar on the nose. Slightly spicy and sweet I just cant seem to get past the vinegar flavor. Notable oak & cherry flavors. Not too tart

Aug 10, 2008 Very nice! Cloudy brown color with a white head. Aroma of yeast, spice, cherry and vinegar. Taste of cherry, spice, vinegar. Just a bit of tartness.
