Jesterdeal (1045) - Marlton, New Jersey, USA - MAR 22, 2013
Aroma of band aid funk, blue cheese, and black cherry. Pours deep brown with big head and sediment. Taste is great with tart blackberry, chocolate and lots of band aid funk. Great stuff.

AGAquino (654) - San Juan, PUERTO RICO - JAN 26, 2013
Pours a dark brown colour w. a slight tan head and some lace. Aroma is slightly sweet, slightly medicinal. Not overly sour, somewhat winelike flavours. Interesting toasted grains and slight funk.

Reynolds314 (1480) - Connecticut, USA - OCT 17, 2012
Very rich chocolate covered balsamic vinegar. Muddled a bit in flavor profile but still nice and oaky with a lot going on. Interesting but I would not buy again.

very dark rich chocolately tart beer. Very alctic on the nose and the flavors, not getting much for cranberries however.

NOTF 2010. Deep brown pour. A little bit of soft funk and some light earthiness as well. Cocoa and an unusual sort of coconut flavour. Soft and a little bit funky. Nice toasty malt base. A bit of light fruit as well. Interesting brew.

Sammy (7035) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 19, 2012
tom’s bottle, thanks for sharing. Dark coloured with a dark lacing. Complex aroma with a fruity edge. Taste like a shiraz wine, and also fruity, edgy, rum and coke, edge from the cranberries, other dark fruit. everything adds to the complex taste, yet smooth and drinkable.

BOLTZ7555 (2378) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - OCT 23, 2011
Chestnut pour with a small eggshell head. Aroma of tart cranberry, oak, vanilla, Brett, and cheese. Lots of dark fruit, dusty wood, burnt caramel, clove, nutmeg perhaps. Just didn’t mesh well for me...seemed messy and disjointed.
