Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Pours a clear warm amber with a small off-white head. Very enticing sour, woody aroma. Medium body, caramel, sour fruit and wood, the Bourbon does shine through the sourness. Sour, sulphurous finish. Wonderful. 130909

gold label on my bottle says 16 months in oak. not sure which version this is. DEEP burgundy pour with a beige head that didnt last very long. Aroma if loaded with oak, red wine vinegar, and some balsamic vinegar with a light fruitiness. Flavor is robust, and extremely tart. Lots of fruit, like cherries, and plums, but the oak just dominates the finish. Slight vanilla, in the end. Its semi dry, and the oak lingers. I like it. its a sipper even at 7%.

14 months on oak. hazy copper with a fleeting head. Big citrusy sour cherry spicy aromas with sharp oxidized caramel. Light/medium body. Sour cherry, sharp caramel with tart and dry spicy red wine flavors and some vanilla sweetness. Like to try the more recent batch...

Bottle from Secret Santa, thanks! Dark brown color. Overwhelming vinous aroma with grapes, hints of toffee and dust. I can hardly get my nose out of the glass. Vinous flavor with oak, grapes, caramel. Earthy with some dried fruit. Apple. Moderate sourness. Excellent brew, complex and with an almost perfect aroma.

Bottle, hooked up by Tronraner. Pours red with tons of floaties. The aroma is very sour with true vinegar, musty basement, oak, grapes, grass. Carbonation is lively. The flavor has hints at cranberries, cheese, vinegar, oak. This is one solid beer. I’m surprised to see this is bourbon aged, I don’t get any flavors that would lead me to guess that.

Bottle, thanks to 2009 Summer Secret Santa, shared with NachlamSie. I’ve been looking forward to this one. Pours a dark rust color with a finger of beige head. The aroma is musty funk, currant, oak, sweet rye bread, some brett, and lots of vinous nuances. The flavor is oak, white wine, currant, and a pleasant farmy tartness. Some vanilla, honey, and grass notes come out with time. The finish is quite dry and clean. Extremely good beer, I wish I had more.

Bottle batch 65 courtesy of styles. Oak wooden barrel along with lot of sour for aroma. Caramel colored body held to light a firery orange and this disapating head on pour. Flavor had some serious sour pucker to it. Sour pears and abundane of tart to go along with some cotton candy. A good candy caramel from last three swigs a plesant suprise. Leaves the palate sour tart and dry. Thanks Chris.

Bottle... Poured amber with an off-white head. Tart and oaky. A little bit of an alcohol warmth and a grainy, puckering finish.
