3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Herb-säuerlicher Antrunk, in dem das rauchige Malz eine untergeordnete Rolle spielt. Auch später bleibt die Säuerlichkeit im Vordergrund, zum Ende gar etwas brennend. Dennoch überzeugt die säuerlich-malzige Mischung, die zum Ende zulegt. Ausgewogen, aromatisch, weich. Röstiger Abgang, nun ist die Säuerlichkeit eher nebensächlich. 9/11/11/10/13/11
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
750ml bottle into my Rochefort glass. Super dark brown with a very light tan head. About three fingers of head but it falls quickly, light lacing...The aroma is light, sweet on the front, on the back light coffee. The front sweetness is hard to pin down, I get red wine while others with us are suggesting olives. Its unique and nice either way...The taste is weird, lightly salty and sweet, weird feeling on the palate, highly carbonated. The finish is very salty. Not much that resebmles a porter. Overall, this is the lesser of the smoke of the oak’s I’ve had. Very weird tasting and something you can skip.

Roasted malts on the nose with dark fruits and molasses with hints of smoke. Pours black with a thin tan head. Tart upfront with smokey roasted malts with dark cherries and bitter black malts. Very smooth with complex flavors. Very nice.

750 ml. bottle. This is a nice beer. When Im tired of trendy styles I go for one of these. A little on the carbonated side but has a nice funky finish to it.

Sampled at Nashville Beer Summit 1.22.11 - Dark brown to black in color. Smells of smoke, firewood. Tastes of tobacco, jerky, aged meats, steak, ham, bacon, bbq. Pretty F’ing good.

4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
This is a tall 750 from cakanator. Batch no. 4. Been saving it. Pours pretty black with a two finger creamy tan head. It’s slightly gushing. Aroma is lightly sour and oaky. Maybe a hint of smoke. Med + body. It’s tart/sour. It’s oaky. There’s a moderate amount of smoke. It’s very astringent. With time there seems to be a vinous hint. Meanwhile my mouth seems to be peeling a bit. Tho it isn’t that sour, surely. This ale makes a very strong presentation. Now there seems to be more noticeable smoke, and red grape seems present. This is fairly complex and it changes with time - or maybe it changes my mouth with time. Extremely good stuff. Really, real ale.
4.1 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Thank bro! Batch 4. Pours oily black with a large bubbly tan head. Very intense aroma. Smells like a cherry lambic, with notes of chocolate as it warms. Quite sour (lemon), with a complex wine-like fruit taste, and cocoa. Foamy and bubbly with a sharp finish. This is quite a bizarre beer, but that just makes it even more enjoyable.
