(500ml bottle, courtesy of thirdeye11) Pours a lightly hazy still amber body. Aroma of honey, grape skins, wet wood, and light sulfur. Flavor of vinous, wood, honey, and caramel.

(500ml bottle) hazy amber/orange/ruby. Nose of fig, grapes, alcohol, oak, nuts and a bit funky. Taste is salty, oak, alcohol, grape, honey, vinous, red cabernet, interesting beer and wine hybrid.

Bottle. Pours clear brown with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with spare lacing. Aroma is vinous with grapes and straw malt, light fruity esters and honey notes. Flavor is vinous and grape heavy with light malt and fruity esters and a dry finish, somewhat Chardonnay like. Medium body and warmth with low carbonation.

16.9 oz bottle. My girlfriend found this at some random liquor store in Ohio. This beer pours completely flat with a reddish orange body with flakes of rust. Aroma of honey, mild vinegar, smoke. Some grapes. Flavor is sweet, with fluctuations of honey and grape juice, mild apple notes. There is apparent oak and caramel. There is an overall tartness, mild smokiness. Some wet wool and horseblanket. As well as a funky earthiness along with white wine notes. No carbonation. Medium bodied. One of the most interesting beer experiences I’ve had.

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2011 Bottle. Flat. Sour aroma. Tons of grape in the taste, but not much sourness or funk. Complex, interesting flavor.

Bottle. Copper pour with no head. Aroma is very wine-like with sweet malt, grape skins, wet oak, honey and spice notes. Taste is sweet as well with more spice, alcohol, oak, damp earth, grape skins, wine, honey (mead) and caramel. Body is light-medium with no carbonation. Very still and slick feel. Ends with more boozy notes, caramel, sweet malt, ripe fruit, honey, light spice, wine, grape skins, wood and wet leather. More of a mead crossed with a white wine than a beer.

500 ml bottle @ redlight redlight. Very vinous on the nose with sweet malts and caramel. Pours a somewhat muddy amber with no head and no carbonation. Very wine-like with some caramel and mildly funky with a savory umami flavor almost briney, very earthy, extremely flavorful. Very interesting!
