Bottle shared with the fam on xmas. Pours murky light brown with light tan head. Aromas of sourness, fruit, toffee. Flavors of dark fruits, little booze, and fair amount of acidity and tartness. Can’t believe how well this has held up. Really solid.

Pretty crazy beer. Not super sour, but lots going on. I got toffee, grass, a hint of some, lots of horse and blanket and lots of other nooks and crannies to explore. A little bit goes a long way with a beer like this, as palate fatigue soon sets in.

Pours a clear and yellow beer with no head. The aroma is fruit, acidity, fruit and pear. The flavor is pear. The palate is sweetness and no carbonation. Overall a very sweet but good beer.

Bottle with Dallas and Pat, courtesy of Dallas. Pours a hazy, brown body with brown head/lacing. Aroma is fruity and funky. Mouthfeel is tart, spicy, slight funk, lots of sour berry fruits. Solid sour.

Bottle with pat and James. Pours a brown haze with brown head. Nice funky aroma. Taste isn’t quite as funky/sour as I expected but it grows on you. Berry flavors shine through with some doughiness. Sticky finish.

Pours to a nice deep ruby mahogany body with a nice white head. The aroma is tangy and sour with rhubarb with a oaky wine barrel and peppery spice. Earthy. The flavor is tangy and sour with rhubarb and juniper berries. Peppery spice that is quite nice. Super smooth and I didn’t even know it was 11%. The palate is nicely textured with a medium full body with no noticed alcohol. The beer was quite nice overall.

Thanks to Blake for bringing the 750mL bottle. Poured cloudy, deep orange with a short-lived beige head. The aroma picked up sour cherries, yeasty notes, and oak over a fruity and lesser bready base.. lovely sourness going on. The flavor found tangy cherry skins and oak throughout, but not overly sour.. dry bready notes and a bit of oxidation beneath.. lots of vinous sourness on the edges.. more cherries, a little lemon zest, and oak on the warm finish.. lots of residual sugars and age to it. Medium-bodied, dry, and grainy on the palate.. lots of barrel present.. good stuff, but not great.
