Nov 28, 2008 The Lost Abbey - Cuvee de Tomme, Vintage 2008. 12.7 oz bottle poured into my New Belgium glass. 11% abv. Served at room temperature.
Appearance: Dark brown with a pinstripe ring of tan suds.
Aroma: Sour cherries, sour grapes, oak, wine cork, and funky goodness.
Taste: Red wine, funky sourness (The Brett?). After a bit, you can really taste the wood of the barrel.
Mouthfeel: Juicy.
Overall: A very nice sour beer, but I was in search of something that I didn’t find. Hasn’t changed much with 6 months of age on it.

Nov 27, 2008 Sampled more than one time at GABF 08, cloudy brown red hue, with a beige head, but falling quickly, yeasty, funky, toasty malt, dried caramelized fruity nose of raisins, prunes, with some nice sour red cherries, with some wet oaky, winey, musty accents, some faint bourbon vanilla liquorish notes in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a funky, sour, fruity character of dark dried raisins, dates, with a winey, musty red cherry flavor, with some hints toffee, caramelized malt sweetness, and some oak vanilla bourbon accents, leading towards a malty, fruity cherry sourness finish.

Oct 22, 2008 Pours a cloudy medium brown color, no head. Aroma is a complex blend of cherries and dark fruits, caramel malts, vanilla, a little bit of bourbon and oak, and subtle funk. Taste is more sour than anticipated, but the malt base and the oak and vanilla make the flavor nicely complex... I think I can say this is the most interesting unified blend of flavors I’ve ever experienced in a beer. Smooth, alcohol is hidden well. This is really something amazing.

Oct 11, 2008 2008 bottle thanks to zathrus13, shared with m4rest88. Pours with a small, light brown, foamy head, with a hazy deep brown body with reddish highlights. Aroma of burboun, vanilla, cherries, chocolate, raisins, slight sour tannins, very complex. Taste is sour, but finishes with brown sugar, molasses, raisins, and bourbon/vanilla. Tart cherries make an appearance upfront. Light, playfull carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Mr. Tomme Aurthur does it again!

Tastes just the same as the aroma. - cherries, citrus, bourbon. Beer tastes sour throughout with a yeasty ending.
Pours a dark brown, with redish highlites - there is almost no head on this beer.
Body is medium with light carbonation.
A great beer! Special thanks to bman1113vr!
