Infinitely complex in aroma and flavor with notes of maltiness and tartness throughout. An unsurpassed old brown with the richness and complexity of a vintage wine.

Bottle, 28th Sept 08. Clear mid brown with a lovely sour apple aroma. On the tongue, lots of tart fruits and a classy underlying caramel maltiness. Refreshing palate and very smooth. Good stuff.

Red brown in colour. Lightly sparkling. Full but clean flavour and leaves a sharp, slightly sour aftertaste.

2005 12 ounce bottle in Duvel glass. Reddish brown with ring and some lace and a few floaters. Funky oaky corky port wine and brown sugar aroma. Toasty oaky brown sugar spice port wine tobacco funky flavor with somewhat acidic finish. Medium body and medium carbo. Infinitely complex is right. This has a lot going on. Very enjoyable, refreshing and satisfying.

Bottle. Poured dark and syrupy. Nose had lots of grapes and was definitely sour.Light carbonation. Tart and sweet, with a wine like feel to it. Finish was sweet than slightly bitter. Interesting, glad I tried it.

375ml pours a murky brown with lots of sediment floatng around. It actually looks like a cascading beer. Aromas of mainly acidic citrus, sour and tart. Flavors are at first tart, then smooth off into an easy drinking acidic brown ale. This stuff is delicious.

At Barrys Abbot Ale House Pub, where else in Ireland would you get this? Hazy reddish brown with tiny head. Strong fruity malty aroma of earth, sour berries and some wood and spices develops in mouth. Flavour is sweet and sour. mostly sour finish.

I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.
