Bottle from TheCheeseMan, thanks! Brown color. oak in the vinous, slightly citric aroma. Sharp sour flavor, oaky, with grapes, citrus and some spicy notes. Plums and anis, leather. Alcohol, once again, is well hidden, but more noticeable as in later vinatges. Complex beer.

Sampled at the Mekong BFM event. The wife’s favorite of the night. Aroma is sour cherry and light caramel. Flavor is intense and rich - sour cherry, good fruitiness throughout, rich caramel, woodiness as well. Complex and interesting, this was a fantastic brew.

750 ml bottle at BFM event at Birreria Paradiso. Cloudy, murky thin brown with almost no head or lacing. Aroma of sweat socks, vinegar and must. Earthy flavor, sour apples, citrus, grapefruit. Very nice.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy deep woody brown with a foamy head- slight diminishing- ok lace. Aroma is funky- barnyard and even blue cheese infection, some sour cherry and pedio bacteria- slight aceto and tart- woody and slight oak. Flavor is funky farmhouse, grassy leather and earth still with some decent big sweet malts, toffee, light caramel, wine, grapeskin and tannic with some earthy sweaty gymsock funk- acetic and slightly sharp - decent sourness- complex and really nice.

13th August 2008. Brown cloudy beer. Sourish and dry and just a bare touch of oakiness. Not a complex beer but quite drinkable.

poured into a tulip... pours a murky brown color with no head and no carbonation... lovely sour aroma... some lingering oak as well. medium body, very tart throughout... with notes of fruit, esp. sour apple, and more oak... vinous... very tart finish. lovely barrel aged vintage sour.... but not worth the $20... not up to par with Russian River at that price level.

Very beautiful amber body with a big beige head; Very beautiful nose, acid fresh with fine aromas of pine resin, flowers and all spice excellent; Big big bubbled carbonation, a little unfitting warm acid, bitter balanced complex and interesting; Long great finish oak again but way more balanced then in both the 07 and 08, fruity aromas. Excellent beer that seems to age very well.

Aroma is moderate to heaavy malty, caramel, berry, cherry, wood notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate acidic with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090710]
