Dec 15, 2005 Thanks to beerprincess at Indy 12/10/05 gathering. Brown with tan head. Vinegar fruityness in the aroma make it a unique. Roasted and chocolate malts with a vinegar based sourness that has moments of light fruityness. Definate tangyness in the character and a spicey presence.

Dec 13, 2005 A lot going on here. Rich mahogany pour. Great, complicated aromas...yeasty sourness, and roasted malt. Chocolate, coffee, and that odd sourness intertwined. Holiday spicing pretty prominent...molasses, brown sugar, honey, and a BIG alcohol burn.

Dec 13, 2005 (Bottle courtesy ’beerprincess’ Indy tasting 12/10/05) Aroma is strong ashtray, black pepper, yeast, and carmel. Pours dark cloudy brown with a nice head and great lacing. Flavor is more appealing than the aroma. The ashtray is replaced by a common Fantome spicyness and farmhouse yeast. Roasty chocolate malt and more spice comes through as it warms. Palate is clean and crisp. A great winter saision.

Dec 12, 2005 Bottle. Thanks to someone at the Indy Circle City Samplers rate party. Pours a cloudy yellow honey color. Aroma is strong of vinegar. Flavor is very active, with notes of vinegar, and has a numbing feel on the tongue. Bad notes, but good beer.

Dec 12, 2005 Good stuff this was. Too bad my notes suck. A reddish brown appearance. A big spice presence with a lot of cherries and grapes present. A sour aftertaste. Good stuff!

Dec 4, 2005 Bottle shared at the First Annual Florida Ratebeer Gathering.
These ratings were taken from one day of about 60 different tastings all were good and all have blended together in my memory but I know I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them and none were bad.

Pours like a coke with no head and some limited effervescence. Hazy. Fresh sour cherries/grape/woody aroma with some noble hops and a little bit of raisin/oxidized character. Musty dry with cherry/grape notes and a terrific sourness that ends surprisingly clean. Not too complex and perfectly balanced between bitter, sweet, and sour. Light body with a little mouth puckering sourness. Hard to believe this is 10% abv.

Nov 23, 2005 Updated: Jan 13, 2006This beer poured a hazy dark amber brown with a small, off-white, quickly diminishing head. The aroma was full of citrus, holiday spices and coriander with a big helping of hops, horseblanket and cellar with neat band-aid-like retros. The body was light-to-medium with a light texture and lively carbonation. The flavor was lightly bitter in the front and intensified into a long-lasting moderately bitter finish.
