| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | May 4, 2009 375ml ’08 bottle. Mostly clear burgundy with a little, wispy head. Aroma of black cherries, balsamic vinegar, oak, brett and faint vanilla and licorice. Hugely vinous taste; smacks of tart cherries and aging wood. Alcohol is non-existent except for the warming feeling. Very dry throughout. The dark fruit taste seems to come out as it warms. Very complex. This is truly an amazing beer, and many thanks to (the) Tomme for the Sinner’s club. Tweety (343), Vancouver, Washington, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2009 I really enjoyed this, the bourbon and fruit notes made a really nice backdrop for the sour, astringent funkiness. daknole (2885), Plantation, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 2, 2009 2008 Bottle in a DLD trade from KP. Brown pour with a thin head at the edges of the glass. Aroma is tart with cherries, raspberries, wood, bourbon, green grapes and maybe some hints of lemon. Flavor is tart, but not overly sour. I certainly get sour cherry, bourbon, vinegar, and maybe a tiny, tiny hint of the raisins. Very good and very fun to drink. faroeviking (6023), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | 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! Defreni (999), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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. Pinball (2778), Allerød, Denmark
