2006 bottle. Amber orange color...small head. Aroma of sour cherries, flowers in a field, slight caramel and honey malts. Flavors include some sour cherry candies, sour fruit, slight barnyard and wood finish. Funky and fun!

750 bottle sampled at Delilah’s Vintage Ale Festival 08. Pours a hazy orange-red with a beige head that fades quick. Cherry, oak, alcohol, candied sugars and yeast in the nose. A light tartness plays with the oak. Surprisingly sweet flavors. Alcohol, cherries, apples, candied sugars, brown sugar. Once again tart with a slight funkiness. I’m surprised the alcohol is so hidden at 11%. The sweetness and sourness aren’t my favorite combination though, still pretty decent.

Poured a hazy amber color with an off-white head. The aroma was mildly tart and funky with notes of leather. A mild tartness made up the flavor as well. Some fruity notes. Dry finish. Nice warmth.

(750ml bottle, 2006 vintage) Pours a murky red/amber/brown body with a medium-sized beige head. Aroma of leather, mustiness, wet oak, barnyard, apple, vinegar, vinous, and earthiness. Flavor of oak, sour funkiness, caramel malt, vinegar, cheese, and assorted dried fruits. Excellent!

Hazy amber body with a small beige head. Nose is lightly tart, moderately sweet and vinous with cherry, light acetic acid and vanilla. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly tart with cherry, run raisins and plum skins. Full body is soft and sticky with light carbonation and a warm finish.
