Jun 7, 2008 This poured amber in color with a thick head. Aromas of sour red fruit with a touch of malt and funk. In the mouth it is medium-bodied with lots of carbonation and great balance. While quite crisp and refreshing there is nice concentration in the midpalate. Well done!

May 31, 2008 Hazy darker brownish red with a thinner tannish head. Sweeter foot-like woody smell. A bit of booze. A bit of vanilla. Creamy. Nice fullness, but perhaps too viscous. Sweet and creamy boozy caramel with vanilla. A bit of alcohol. Tannic fruity finish. Cloying, boozy.

May 28, 2008 Bottle from WLV Liquors. Pours a clear amber orange with a smooth beige head. Nose is surprisingly sour and slighlty fruity at first but that fades to reveal the Bazooka Joe bubble gum that surrounds this beer like an aura. Carbonation is spritzy. Fruity flavors. Some cherry, grapefruity, bubblegum and earthy notes with a touch of sourness. There is a distracting earthiness that comes from the yeast but my sample without the yeast remains fruity and smooth. I never noticed Bazooka Joe chalky bubblegum like this in any beer before. A strange one but enjoyable.

May 28, 2008 This is one strange beer... Aromas of cherris, malt, and a bit ok funkiness (maybe brett?). Cherries are more pronounced in the flavor, with barnyard and a bready yeast finish. Very interesting; the oak age is evident but I do not pick up on any sake or shochu flavors or aromas. Worth a try.

May 28, 2008 This beer is wild. Weird garbagey aroma blows off revealing a nice cedary slightly citric dry aroma. Fairly dry flavor. Very interesting.

May 27, 2008 This Belgian Ale pours a medium copper amber color from a 33cl bottle. Huge white foamy head with nice lacing. The aroma is fruity and sweet, with a touch of wood and some yeast. A medium bodied Belgian Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, touch of vinous quality as well. The hops are citrusy. Interesting beer, kind of fruity and sweet, some wood, some yeast with a wine (sake?) like character. The flavors change with each sip. Subtle. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

May 21, 2008 Aroma and finish that of flowers. Sake Barrel conditioning quite evident and welcome. Tastes fruity and floral. Tried on draft during Saturnalia at Rich-O’s Public House in New Albany, IN.

May 15, 2008 In the bottle from Beertopia. Pours a dark bownish-purple with a medium but durable off white head. The aroma is very dark fruit consisting of wines and raisins and figs. This would be a clone of St. Bernardus Abt if you ignored the nutty sandalwood/cedar/crazywood flavor and the weirdness. A very thick beer that has all the abbey beer palate. There’s lots going on here. I am very impressed.
