Mar 4, 2008 3rd Annual Woodshop Tasting, 3/1/08. Thanks Chris! 2005 750 ml bottle. Solid brew! Interesting flavor wraps up a fruity chocolate, spice, oak, some vanilla, caramel. An enjoyable beverage.

Feb 13, 2008 An ancient bottle from 1997. There was some oxidation, but overall I think it kept surprisingly well. Poured dark brown with an off-white head that started big but faded to a persistent film. Very earthy, musty nose with some dark chocolate notes. Flavor was quite tart and vinous, fruity and sour...not in a bad way. Dark, plummy fruit character. No real bitterness. Very interesting. Hope to try a fresher one soon.

Jan 30, 2008 Its been a while since I had this. Rating from notes and memory. Very nice dark color. Aroma of plums, cherry, sugar making it a bit sweet and sour. Very pleasant to drink. Some nice red wine characteristics and some barrel come through too. Very nice overall.

Jan 19, 2008 Booo…Ark!
Bière brune noire, avec un voile poussiéreux, sans mousse ni effervescence. Arôme très puissant : aux accents de pommes et de cerisettes. Odeur sûre amère, rappelle un peu le vin, ou pire la bière tournée. Le goût est essentiellement sûr, très sûr, il est dominé par le vin, la cerisette. Il n’a rien du goût de la bière, pas de houblon, pas de malt – enfin sous une forme que je connais… Il y a des saveurs de fromage et de champignons, pas nécessairement de bonnes saveurs. Le palais est plat et replat, sans corps, sans effervescence. Je vois la note moyenne de cette bière et je n’arrive pas à y croire. Pour ma part c’est une bière infecte, immonde… que j’espère mal tournée ou corrompue. Pourtant, avec une capsule et un liège c’est difficile de voir comment les forces obscures ont pu « hantée » cette bouteille?

Jan 4, 2008 Shared by miketd. Thanks! Almost black body with little head. Nice sour aroma mixed with what seems to be rye and spices. The flavor follows with a hint of black pepper, some unripe fruits, and chocolate melding together for a nice flavor. Nicely done.
