This haystack has been sitting in this creamy microbial rot puddle for millenia...A careful approach reveals a formidable stench of acidity (yes, even in the nose) and earth-soiled gym socks which had been packed at the bottom of a plastic bag after a week of camping in the Everglades...A second step closer divulges gaudy kelp marinated in sweet cherry syrup...A bite of this antique block of what was once fresh cereal cringes the palate for a second until the tart ascension of cherries is appeased by ageless bread dough, cheese and even tomatoes (a bruschetta!)...This one’s so alive, it spoke to me...

Oct 6, 2008 looks like a glass of prune juice that screams your gonna take good hot s**T later. Very very funky bretty sour aromas lots of sour cherries in the taste with the same wild crazy flavors that you get in the nose takes a long time to drink because there is so much going on ih the flavor and aroma a litte vinegar puckering in the end great for a change

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle sampled on 09/26/08 at Night of the Funk. Pours a cloudy red with a small light pink head. Aroma and flavor is quite tart and funky and sour. Some sweet cherry, maybe some fish (?), and acidic notes. Pretty good but a little acidic and there was something odd about it that I couldn’t pin down.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle from 08 Night of the Funk. Aroma of funked up cherries. Flavor of wood, acidic cherries, bretty cherries, just marvelously classic. No bells and whistles, but so fantastic.

Sep 25, 2008 Ruby red color and cloudy with a good sized white head. Aroma is sour and fruity. Taste is of tart cherries fresh off the tree that mellows to a soft sweet cherry taste. Dry and delicious.
