Reviewed from notes. Pours a dark brown color with a bit of a reddish tint. Off white head with some moderate lacing. The nose brings forward quite a bit of sourness along with some nice cherry character as well as a bit of spice. The flavor doesn’t meld completely as the spice and the fruit never fit together all that well. A slight barrel character is there as well. Medium body and slightly sour with a dry finish. Bit of mild earth lingers throughout. Pretty good, though not as good as others I’ve had from them. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 03-15-2011

Bottle… Dime-n-Hetfield’s "All the Way to 1K" Throwdown… Cloudy burnt-orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention. The aroma offers raw wood, caramel and funky vintage cheese underscored by a light herbal component. Medium to full-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and busy carbonation. The flavor is tart and a bit funky, but immaculately balanced. Modest, yeasty, earthy bitterness accompanies low caramel sweetness. Tart, tangy, dry finish. Bottle courtesy of dimenhetfield. Thanks, Casey, and congratulations on 1,000 ratings!

FLÖSKA. Unclear deep borwn-red colour with a small beige head. Tart caramel spice aroma, pleasant. Flavour is tart with caramel, fruit, bit spice and wood.

Draft. Pours a copper bruin body with an off white head quickly diminishing. Vinous body with notes of sour cherries, light raisins, and a hint of apple like acidity. A bit of smokiness light rye, and a a hint of honey. Funky body with a nice drying finish. Pretty good.

Bottle at Papsø tasting. It pours a dark amber colour with a tan head. This ones smells weird, must be the spices and cherry wood that gives a somewhat cedar wood like aroma. Flavour is sourish and very spicy in a bad way with oak and caramel notes.
