| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a lovely deep mahongany. Small tan head that disappears pretty quickly. Not much in the way of lacing. Aroma shows plenty of sournness. Plenty balsamic vinegar, red wine / port and sour cherries. Also seems to be some cork or perhaps oak near the finish. Flavours initially show some malt sweetness. A little fresh apple and some dark fruits. Plenty of vinegar sourness on the finish. Extremely well balance and a wonderful beer.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours very dark copper with a little tan head that quickly vanishes. Aroma is a little sour with notes of blackberries, blackcurrant, toffee, and sour cherry. Flavour is also quite sour (no great surprise) and vinous with a lot similarity to the aroma but with added hints of caramel, oak and raspberry. Nice mix of sweet and sour overall which has a generous body and a fairly astringent finish. The first beer I have tried in this style and I will be seeking out more. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
