Apparently didn’t have a cork. Aroma is vingery, sour, some cherries. taste is awesome. Flavor is cherries, oak, and earthy. So glad CaryTheDude and JakeBra hooked me up with this one. CanIHave4Beers (835), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Jan 5, 2009 This was a pretty beautiful beer. Not quite as sour as I had expected but certinally as dry and oaky, very wine like. There was a little bit of vinegar like flavor but the gorgeous eartiness saved it indeed. Throw in some like fruit flavors like cherry perhaps a little plum and you’ve got it. This was great.
