3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/202012 bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small head that lingers a bit. Aroma is sour fruit, cheese, and oak wood. Taste is not bad but not very complex. Very tart and somewhat dry fruitiness with a hint of oak. Overall it’s ok but I’m also not a big sour guy.

Bomber shared by Matt, thanks! Pours a brownish red with an off white head, the aroma is all berry, a little funk and sourness is in there but the berries really come through, the flavor has a nice amount of cherry and raspberry like notes on the front end with a really soft mouthfeel and finish, not overpowering sour at all, actually pretty nice.
