Bottle thanks to the wold. Pours dark brown with dense tan coloured head. Aromas are a little odd. Some roasted grain, a little chocolate and perhhaps some red wine sourness. Nothing overly special here. Flavours are very watery with some roasted grain and a touch of bitterness. Thin mouthfeel. Alcohol on the finish. Ordinary

Cremosa i amb xocolata, regalessia i un punt de poma. Notes de barrica. Molt complexa. Gran.

Bottle. Brown and slightly cloudy. Powerful wooden sherry like flavours dominate. Full bodied with lots of alcohol present.Powerful and impressive whist very nice to drink.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2011 750 ml bottle shared at the Utah holiday tasting. Notes of vanilla, wood, roasted/sweet malts, fruits, a slight tartness in the background. A very well done stout. I liked this very much and would want to have another. The slight wine character works well with Imperial Stouts in my opinion.

Bottle shared by Dallas at the Christmas party, a huge thanks to Bonnie for saving the last of the bottle and finding me to share
Appearance: Hazy dark brown with a small beige head and some lacing
Aroma: Toasted malts, caramel, fruity, woody and vanilla
Taste: Toasted malts, caramel, bourbon and some herbal notes
Nice

Bottle thanks to Dallas. Pours a dark brown murky color with a small white head. A nice aroma of roast, some chocolate and sweet fruit. The flavor is a lively mix of tart wine/fruit, some roast and dry cocoa, I actually thought there was a lot of stout left in this, of course tart dry barrel as well. Very nice.

bottle... how in the world is this beer a stout? least stoutish beer I’ve had, the Bourgogne barrels make this a wine basically but not a good way like Bottlewroks xi... a watery clear dark brown with lots of amber, hardly any head... the nose and taste are mostly red wine with a bit of sour on finish... way to easy to drink at 10% but other than that its hard to see why you would

Hoping I have the right beer here, my notes say "Alvinne Sour Podge Cherry"
Tap (Craft Beer Co., RBESG2011 Saturday)
Dark red with a surprisingly full spongy head. Promisingly sharp aroma of dark fruits. Sharp, slightly sour in the taste, but a good roast holds it afloat. Not so keen in sour notes in stouts, so this does well to survive that test. Beautiful finish, remarkably light grains for a beer so dark. Good breadiness. Covers the alcohol well too. All round solid beer in a sub-style that’s hard to impress me with.

Bottle - 750ml. Pours a very dark brown body with a thick, lasting beige foamy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with plummy and chocolate hints. Alcohol is well hidden. Robust malty/hoppy taste with oaky and vineous notes. Ends with a long, warming bittersweet finish. Very good!

Malzbetonter, dunkel süßer Antrunk mit schokoladigen Noten. Nussig, angenehm säuerlich, leichte Weintendenzen. Diese verstärken sich noch etwas, wenig herbe, weich, gleichzeitig wird das Bier alkoholischer. Sehr würzig und vollmundig, zunehmend malziger wobei die Säuerlichkeit mithalten kann. Weiter süß, rund, einfach gelungen! 12/12/12/13/13/12
