Bottle. Brownish/mahogany colored, clear. Slight reddish tint when backlit. Not much of a pop when the cork is released. Aroma is quite nice, sour cherry, woody, moderate Brettanomyces qualities. Medium bodied, a bit lacking in carbonation for my tastes. Tastes pleasant, plenty of cherry qualities, woody. Some funk. Medium level of acidity. Tasty.

Aug 21, 2008 Rating #500! I was expecting a gusher, but no problems here. Pours a murky plum color with minimal head and zero lacing. Lots of yeasties floating around in this one. Nose is sour cherries, vinegar and some funky cheese. Taste is sour cherries and funk upfront, but gets a touch sweeter with ripe cherries, grapes and malt before finishing with a tart oaky lemon juice that fades pretty quickly. Medium mouth feel. Overall, this is a nice, enjoyable sour.

Aug 18, 2008 RBSG 2008. So we just had the Sinners Blend and I was blown away and yet this just repeated my amazement. Pours red/mahogany, tan head. Tart cherry nose and acidic. Lots of earthy wood come through with a nice sourness in the end.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle at RBSG tasting at the brewery. Pours muddy reddish amber with no head. Aroma of malt, funk, and cherry. Flavor of doughy caramel malt with an accent of cherry and plums. Moderate tartness and not overly acetic on the finish. This is a good beer, but I had much higher expectations on this one.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle: Muddy brown with a big beige head. Aroma is intense with fruity sweet and sours, woodiness, and cherry tart. The impact from the tartness on my tongue is incredible, but it remains smooth and quaffable. Barrel aged notes are soft as well. Fruity sweetness and tart comes through in the end. Still amazing how smooth the transition is. Thanks Seth!
