Feb 15, 2009 Incredibly frothy and thick head with a murky copper liquid and active carbonation. Smells great with some apple and vinegar. The wood character is present but light. Flavor is a little weaker than I would have liked. What’s there is good, it just seems so faint. Very dry finish. Glad I tried it, but probably won’t seek this one out again.

Feb 14, 2009 bottle - poured clear reddish copper color with large foamy head.
Aroma - overly ripe apples and also like wood. Must be the oak barrels they aged it in
Flavor - alcohol, green apple skins and definite woodsy taste.
Palate - medium mouthfeel with sour apple flavor on tongue. Oak barrel ageing leaves slight smokey tongue. Carbonation is quite high and finish is dry.
Overall - This style of beer reminds me more of a wine cooler or a apple wine. Good for style but not really the beer I prefer.

Feb 14, 2009 Clear amber with a frothy head. Nice funky barnyard aromas with tart apple peel, raspberry and cherry. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Flavor is dry and tart citrus fruit, apple and cherry, with some lightly sour wet wood in the finish. Great dry and sour taste with out the aspirin burn, damn near perfect.

Feb 13, 2009 Blend 5 (2008) thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a large, light brown head that stays for the duration and leaves sheets of lacing. Hazy ruby colored beer hides underneath. Aroma of vanilla, clove, plum, earthy caramel and some florals. Taste is sour and very floral and fruity with notes of red wine, plums and oak. Very carbonated with a trace of alcohol on the palate, dry mouthfeel.

Feb 12, 2009 Dark amber, white head. Very nice aroma of oak, earth cherries, vanilla and tobacco. Good fullness balanced by a perfect tart acidity. Very impressive.

Feb 9, 2009 Refreshing for a red, this one goes down smooth, and avoids the "sweet-tart" aspect that many have. Much lighter bodied, tart up front, and only a mild malt complexity behind it, notes of cherries, toffee and oak.
