Apr 30, 2009 Sampled at Beerhawk’s Beer Gods in the Boro, aka 1000 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, By God Beer God Gathering, BG1K Tasting. Hazy brown pour with lots of floaties and good tan head. Very vinous smelling, like red wine. The tart cherry flavor was certainly not my thing, but it was great for what it was. Medium carbonation. I really liked the breast cancer angle. Very cool to save the boobies while drinking a beer!

Apr 30, 2009 Flaske: Flot mørkerød øl med et meget lille skumhoved. Meget fin karbonering. Surheden er efter den første overvældende smag af rosiner og portvin ret kraftig. Samler trådene. Fantastisk at prøve og overraskende velafbalanceret.

flavor is strange mix between boozzy prot and raisins and sour cherry beer. for me, it doesn’t work.

Apr 20, 2009 2008 Bottle. Pours a flat, muddy reddish brown with a quickly dissipating head. Aroma is aged maraschino cherries, like a cherry port wine. Flavor is sweet cherry and oakiness with no detectable bitterness. Body is a bit syrupy. It’s a good brew, but I prefer the lighter bodied domestic sours like Red Poppy and Supplication.

Apr 4, 2009 On tap at the 2009 Belgian Beer Fest. Pours a dark reddish brown with light tan head. Cherries, tart apple, oak, dark fruits, raisins, and vanilla. Very sour and complex. This is really really good. Definitely one of the best out there.
