New lost abbey label. 2008 versie. Pours a muddy brown with a certain hazyness to it. The nose is pretty vinoes with notes of acidated cherries., alcohol and meat and wood. The taste is ohh so sweet and sour with alot of berries and you taste the barrels. Some cinnamon, star-anis and lactose. Fresh and picking palate.

’08 bottle...shared with my family on Christmas Eve, pours a dark brown with a nice ruby tint around the edges. Loads of tart cherries, dark roasted malts, lightly funky and some oak. Very nice, crisp body on this. Flavor consists mainly of tart cherries, subtle sweet malt, pepper and dry woodsy finish. Very nice.

Pours out brown-redish with no head. Smells of cherries and wood Taste of sweet and sour cherries and funk. Nice notes of wood and tartness as it warms. Not too sour, nice balance. Sweet sticky finish.Very dessert like. Great brew.

2008 bottle. Ross decided to crack this one open and I was very glad that he did. Pours out a dark reddish brown with a small tan head that fades very quickly never to return. Smells are strong of tart cherries and deep wood, a slightly sweet finish to the aroma. The taste is a shocker, I knew this was a sour beer going into it but I was not expecting the sourness to be as strong as it was, and that was a good thing. The sourness worked well with cherries and oak. There also was a light sweetness of raisins and cinnamon that finished the whole thing, excellent job.

Dark mahogany with a medium beige head. Aroma had lacto, cherriees and roasted malt. So much was going on in this one. Sour flavour with sour cherries, roasted malt, caramel, wood and vinegar. Finished sour. The alcohol gave this sour an enormous complexcity.

This one is very sour and has a ton of oak flavors from the barrel aging of coarse. Once you get past the sourness of this beer the cherry flavor comes out but the initial smack of sourness does subside and allows the other flavors to come through. Im not the biggest fan of sour beers but if you are this one is a must try. Overall not something I would go out of my way to get but if its around definilty worth a taste..

Bottle. Red/brown color with off small white head. Cherry, oak vanilla and mustyness in the aroma. Sour cherries dominate but do not overpower. Some bourbon, oak and wine tastes as well. Simply beautiful.

Beachbum1975 saw this as one of my top Wants and cracked it open. Thanks man. Pours reddish brown in color. No head to be found on the pour. Smell is lots of sour cherry and some woody oak. Incredibly lip puckering and tart. Lots of good sour notes coming through in the flavor. The cherry flavor is perfectly done. Very complimentary to the rest of the beer. Just a hint of alcohol burn in the finish. Fairly thick and coating in the mouth. The cherries sour and oak work amazingly well together and are incredible. This is a world class beer. One of the few rare and hyped beers that has lived up to the expectations. Incredible beer.
