Commercial Description:
The last in our 2007 Deadly Sin Beer series evokes deadly desire in men (and, OK, women too) with its dark Belgian character. It was aged for ONE year in bourbon oak barrels and infused with sour cherries & brettanomyces.

Thanks to MaltOMeal for this bottle! Shared with MaltOMeal and thickfreakness. Very dark black with thin head. Nose is like strawberry jam, bourbon and vanilla. Flavor is cherries, strawberries and a bit of brett, but not overly so. Some bourbon, but not as much as I expected. Carbonation is very rich. Thanks Bill.

thanks to bitbucket tasting. Very dark brown w/ thin head. Aroma of dark fruit and cherries is quite nice. Taste follows with more of the same w/ some oak and very light funk coming through.

22 oz. bottle @ liquid sunshine tasting - thanks to derkruk; the seven sins certainly ends with a masterpiece; dark brown with thin head; thick, resinous aromas of chocolate and cherries; nice level of funk; drinks dank, dry and creamy; everything is in balance - the wood, the funk, the fruit; pretty much kick ass’ the mix of chocolate and cherries is what really carries this one

Thanks to HopHead84 for sharing. Pours dark brown with a very thin, offwhite head, specks of lace. Smells very nice, sweet and woody with lots of vanilla and some malt as well. Tastes malty and woody with some bourbon and vanilla, very faint overripe cherry flavors as well. Full body, subdued carbonation.

bomber thanks to BrewBoone shared with zinister and thickerfreakness. Pours black with a tan head which lingered. Nose is bourbon, oak and alcohol. Taste is sour cherries with some bourbon. Mouthfeel is medium with some carbonation and alcohol.

Appearance: Pours a dark brown, near black body with a small, fizzy, khaki-colored head. That’s a decent looking beer. Smell: Bourbon aroma leads, followed by cherries, and notes of oak barrels with some dark maltiness imparting a mild hint of cocoa powder and roast. Taste: For me, the bourbony flavor is up front with it’s tastes of wood, brown sugar, and vanilla beans. Slight tastes of roast and chocolate. Distinct sour cherry flavor. A rather unobtrusive, even sensible Brett character that only helps to accentuate the various flavors and add to the overall complexity of the brew rather than trounce the other components. A whole medley of revisited flavors for the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: It’s good, though a very busy beer, I must say!
