Unique aroma that is hard to place. Alcohol, brown sugar, oak. Oh man, this is delicious. Seriously sour. Cherries, woody. Alcohol is well hidden in the super sour finish. Medium mody. A little sparkly, but it balances this beer out perfectly. Wow, I enjoyed this! Rotorhead87 (117), Temple, Texas, USA
