4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Shared by Sean, thanks! Pours a dark, muddled copper brown with one finger head. Smell is Belgian candied sugar, some subtle malt, and a little spice--perhaps cinnamon. Taste is sweet malt that continues through with light cherry. Picked up on plenty of layers of sweetness in this one along with a deep finish. Low carbonation and medium body mouth feel. Tasty!

750mL Bottle. Aroma strong prune, plum, candi sugar and Belgian caramel with a touch of barrel. Flavors are really rich and dark. I’ve scarcely had malty beers this complex. Somewhere in the middle is a notable sun-dried fruit and Pedro Ximenez raisin flavor that goes back and forth with the chewy complex mid-dark malts. This has gotta come from the combination with the Cab barrel. Great beer!

750ml Bottle with a big thanks to ditmier. Pours out dark brown topped with a nice head. Aroma was sweetness, molasses, pit fruit, oak, caramel, cherries, and spice. Taste is more of the sweetness, but it changes gears from pit fruit to more cherries. Along with the dark cherries is an array of spice, vanilla, and wood.

750 ml bottle at another kick ass Boise tasting. Batch 001. Pours a opaque brown color with a large brown/cream colored head. The aroma is sour brown ale notes, some cherries and wood. The flavor is intense; like a Flemish Sour, cherries, cinnamon, spicy, brown sugars and sweet abt flavors, sourness throughout. Very good.
