Cloudy brown beer. Dry palate. Sour but not overly so. Sour orange and a hint of lemon. Just a little spice. A sweet note on the front of the tongue. Hides the alcohol incredibly well - is this really 12.0%??

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
330 ml bottle.
Medium to dark bown with lots of red and lots of floaties. A slight lacy head. Tangy, sour aroma of green apples, cherry, dust, a bit of barnyard and chocolate. Sweet-and-sour flavor of chocolate, caramel, cherries, green apples, and dusty mold form an old oak barrel. Dry finish with sour tang. Smooth body, not very heavy. Something like a very strong Flanders red, but I can’t help thinking it is also infected. Decent stuff, though not exactly right on. Alcohol completely hidden.
