COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered.
A blend of 1/3 young beer and 2/3 of beer aged 2 years in large oak vats. The more important proportion of oak matured beer contributes to its fruity taste, complexity and intensity. The finish is worthy of a great wine.

dinkle50 (221) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 4, 2012

Reddish pout, small head with slight lacing. Aroma is all vinegar and not very appetizing. Taste is slightly vinegary with some sour cherries. Mouth feel is slightly painful. Sourness lingers with every sip.

slakemythirst (73) - - JAN 30, 2012

Doftar rom-russin och typ jäst. Smakar det samma fast med en rejäl dos syra. Jag uppskattade smakspektrat men denna öltyp är inte riktigt min kopp te (ännu).

bigrond (1215) - factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 29, 2012

pours very dark. Big nose and strong complex balance. Fruit notes from beginning to the long slow cherry finish. Plum, sour, smooth are the three strongest words for the brew. Very nice.

Jool (27) - - JAN 29, 2012

Bouteille 33cL. Nez de cerises avec un cote sure et acide. Semblable en bouche: cerises et framboises avec un cote vinaigre. Interessant.
