Thanks to my good friend in the desert for hooking me up with this bottle. Dark murky brown pour with no head. Sour dark fruit and vinous aromas. All kinds of vinous and sour stone fruit notes with caramel malt, vanilla, and woody undertones. Delicious with a great mouthfeel and good balance. A little light on the carbonation.

Slutfest! Black, little head. Aroma is sour cherry. Flavor is sour cherry with a soft chocolate flavor. Touch of a woodsy note. Really nice. A rather lovely beer in many ways.

Slutfest 2013: Currant and coffee aroma. Cloudy dark brown, no head. Currant and oak flavor with subtle coffee notes. Blood-like viscosity and body. Ecletectic.

375 mL bottle shared at Slutfest 4. Pours a dark brown color with a thin head. Fair head retention. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, tart herbal finish. The taste is caramel, roasted malts, bright tart citrus, raisin. Medium bodied. Disjointed a bit, but good.

Bottle. Sweet and sour nose with lots of fruit. Fig, cherry, plum, raisin. Beyond that there is some caramel, oak, and funk. Dark reddish-brown with no head. Flavor is also loaded with fruit but dominated by tartness and oak. Dry, with a hint of acetone. Long finish of earthy funk and sourness, punctuated by aforementioned fruit notes.

The beer appears dark brown with a small, fleeting head. The aroma offers malt, roast, booze, cola, dark fruit. The flavor has a soy sauce consistency, with additional notes of booze, molasses, cherries. Distinguishable Lost Abbey flavors. Overall, this was quite complex and intriguing, but a bit unbalanced. Thick feel with low carbonation. Worth a try. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 07-07-2012

Mahogany brown with a small ring of off white bubbles, light lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla, roasted malts, chocolate, light vinegar, wine, and some wild yeast. Taste of roasted malts, vanilla, bourbon, port, dark chocolate, acidic, and some sour in the finish.

Pours quite darker than expected, coffee brown with a small caramel head. The aroma brings some nice tart notes and nutty roasty malt notes. The flavor brings the bourbon barrels and tart sour flavors as well blending together quite nicely on a body that has some decent carbonation considering the brew!

Bottle at STL gathering. Pour is coffe brown including no head. Aroma is dark dark fruit, faint tart and sweet fruit, light tartness. Flavor is way more tart than aroma with only hints of sweetness and red wine

Bottle. Pours a murky dark brown with a small ring of off-white head. Aroma of dark red fruits, bourbon, oak. Flavour is incredibly sour - dark fruits, some vanilla, wood and bourbon. Quite complex, harshly sour, interesting.
