Nov 17, 2008 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.

Nov 1, 2008 I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.

Oct 29, 2008 Pours brown with little head. Aromas of molasses, raisin, plum, and vinegar. Complex sweet and sour flavor with brown sugar and cherry. Finishes fairly quick with just some of the sourness lingering.

Oct 22, 2008 375 ml, 2007 vintage. Deep copper-chestnut with a lasting inch of crunchy foam. Aroma of musty malt vinegar, brown sugar and cherries. Tastes of tart cherry, apple cider vinegar, raisins, must, molasses and merlot. Medium-heavy body is creamy, yet watery and acidic-tingly and dry enough to be a refreshing summer drink.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle from Binny’s (South Loop, Chicago, IL). Poured a very nice dark brownish with red notes and a bit of yeasty floaties with a sizable tan head that dissipates and laces a bit. Aromas are a bit light, but can sense some vague oaky notes and some light sweetness reminiscent of a fruity bouquet. Taste is similar, light on the sour (But still present), instead boasting it’s fruity notes, grapes and light winey notes complimenting the lighter sourness. Light touches of oak tucked in well. This beer almost seems like a librarian.. all prim and proper, with the potential to be something grand. Nice mouthfeel, deep subtle finish. Very nice. Cheers!

Sep 28, 2008 Pours a dark tan/light brown. Moderate foamy head. Good amount of sediment settles to the bottom. Aroma is pretty fruity. Thats about all I get from it. Flavor, however...tart. Very fruity, a lot of grape, raisin, plum,apple, etc. Very much more like a wine to me than a beer. No hop or leafy flavor at all. Very little malt, although it is present. Definitely pretty good, but not really my thing.
