adnielsen (6181) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - JUN 20, 2012

Bottle @ Dan’s house, courtesy of doodler and a special thanks to Papsoe. Thanks Scott! Murky orangish brown appearance with a cream colored head. Really tangy, acetic, vinous, thick cherry, very funky, oaky aroma. Somewhat bready, light vinegar, tart cherry, somewhat toasty malty, horseblanket, funky flavor. Pretty cool brew.

Pour out of hand grenade, big thanks to Scott and big thanks to Papsoe! Dark orange hazy pour with white head, aroma has notes of dark cherry, funk, some slight funky notes, acetic acid, some slight vanilla, lemon notes. Taste is funky horse blanket, dusty basement, hints of cherry, lemon, touch of sour apple, acetic red vinegar, finishing fairly sweet but with a funky slightly tart, try finish. Tasty.
