3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
First rating, but long time beer drinker.
Inspired by a Bios to try more Sour Ales. This one though is different than the Sour Red Ales, like the bottle says, Old Brown Ale Aged in Oak Casks for 2 Years. That about sums it up. Pours a dark brown color with a light, quickly disappearing whitish-tan head.
The nose is almost entirely oak wood. So is the front end of each sip. A slight bit of tartness as well as that classic brown ale taste follow. Not overly complex, but a very good beer.

11.2 oz bottle-pours a foamy tan head and brown/copper color. Aroma is rooty/earthy/spice, vinuous, vinegar. Taste is tart fruit, vinegar, rooty/earthy/spice, yeast. Good effervescence then somewhat thin finish mid-palate.

Bottle, thanks MDS. Deep ruby brown, light tan head. Nose is honey & rich malt, cherry syrup. Flavor is sweet malt, light tartness, some cherry, very rich malt. Tartish finish.

Poured into a wine glass in a pinch, forms a nice 1 finger head of light tan foam. Body is clear and cola colored.
Smells of that root beer flavored gummy candy with a hint of musty yeast, raspberry, overly sugary.
This beer is way too sweet. It reminds me of watery cherry cola with berry notes and no trace of sourness or oak. Boring.
Too much carbonation makes this beer hard to drink until the head settles down, which doesn’t take too long because the head is fizzy.
Inoffensive beer but it just tastes saccharine to me. I was expecting a nice tart refreshing brew but I got a fountain drink.

deep ruby body with no head. Musky sour aroma. Very thin lifless body with sour malt flavors and not much more, I’m going to chalk this up to a poorly stored bottle as i have had these in the past and enjoyed them

Bottle shared with Nosiriwont. Clear deep dark brown colour. Sweet malty sour aroma. The flavour is sweet with dark malts, soft sourness and some spice. Sweet malty sourish finish.
