4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours tea-like orange/brown color; thin sawdusty head. Smells like Avery’s Depuceleuse and Dyhos Dactylion, in the same vein. Tastes very similar too.

750ml bottle pours a hazy, light brown with zero head. Nose has lots of sweetness, some wood, cherry, lemon, raspberry. Flavor is tart, acidic, sweet, wood pulp, vinegar, sugary. Full bodied, very tart, acidic finish. Has tons of barrel character.

Thanks BeerandBlues2! Murky orange brown pour with a huge dark head. Toffee, oak tannins, and wicked acidity give way to dark fruits and hints of brine. Awesome.

750 ml, thanks to BeerandBlues2 for bringing this one! Classic awesome sweet dark fruit funk, with plum, fig, raisin, apple, oak, toffee, and huge vinous presence. The fruity funk is just wonderful, and the 11% is hard to feel... until afterward. Yummy.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours light hazy tawny with a bubbly off-white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is caramel, toast, and cookie malt, lactic, dates, cherry, oak, vanilla, and light alcohol. Flavor is oak, dark cherry, plum, dates, vinous, lactic sourness, light hops, barnyard and a sweet finish. Full body, medium warmth and carbonation.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
hazy red amber, thin tan ring. Balsamic, cherry light brown sugar. Flavor similar, few acetic or acetone, bit of sting. Thin, oily, and light alcohol burn, few off notes in light elmers/paper dryness. The sugar and cherry singular qualities actually help here, probably my favorite bfm from memory, most of the common flaws masked a bit.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750mL at Sour Epic Part 2. The pour is a tepid, hazy, deep strawberry. No head formation like a lot of these BFM sours. Fruit juice aroma, sweet strawberries and red cherries. Taste is rose wine, cherry juice box, evident alcohol heat. Small paperiness. Nice acidic balance. Soft mouthfeel- easy to drink for 11%. These BFMs are dangerously easy to enjoy so be careful.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Capped 750 shared by Marcus. Pours garnet garnered amber with no head. The aroma is very sour and oaky. A touch earthy. Near med body. Flavor is earthy, sour, fruit with a lot of oak astringency. Fantastic.
