Pizza Port Cuvee de Tomme

sample from the pitcher at GABF on 9/26/09... a murky brown pour with an off white head... big sour nose with a touch of cherry... pucker up on this one... medium body with a nutty sour feel... more funk over the mouth with some sour cherries... sour apple and a touch of raisin notes as well... big sour finish. excellent stuff.

I like sours. This one is good. Aroma is great. High alcohol and wine like flavor is dominant. has a wild yeast flavor. If you like sours you must try it. The finish is incredible. I paid $33 for it. I may buy it again to keep and age for years. Drinks real nice. Quality brew. Not to sure it lived up to the hype though. If you like this go to Grey Parrot Brewing in Washington and try the Altbier.

Bottle. Pours a brownish red, no head or any carbonation to speak of. Aroma is sour cherries, slight horseblanket and wood. Flavor is a great mix of tart cherries, wood, and hidden in the funk is a touch of vanilla. Reminded me alot of Supplication without the carbonation. Give it just a touch of carbonation and I think this would be a great one.

version 2009. amazing aroma of funk, sour cherries, and oak. Incredible flavor of sour cherries, sour funk, and that great wet hay you would get from a world class lambic. I’m super impressed with the beers ability to duplicate that amazing lambic sourness and funk. Incredible beer! in my opinion on par with a cantillon lamic.

It pours a clear brownish color with an orange tint, there is a thin head to it that fades quick. The nose is so intense with a lot of sour funk and dark fruit, mainly black current. Im thankful for Drink4Satan for sharing this beer with me. As you sip on it there is a initial sour bite that attacks your taste buds like a mouthful of sour patch kids. This beer has a good balance malt, hops, and carbonation with the right amount of sour funk. Overall it has a nice sour apple and is a bit cider like in character.

Thanks to STLWill for this bomb tasty McFresh! The pour produces a clear ruby tinted cola colour with a short-lived wispy off-white head. The nose is rife with bold oak, vanilla, tart cherries, horseblanket and bretty yeast galore. The flavour is even more intense, with cider-like sweetness and acetic acid/brett yeast. The woody, vanilla character, along with sour cherry notes linger for some time, fading to a faint fruity sweetness. The alcohol is well hidden and the carbonation is gently and massaging, not quite prickly. Bomb tities!

4oz sample of 2008 bottle in exchange for a 24 bottle case of Bell’s Oracle hehe. Huge thanks to drewbeerme! Pours a viscous-looking/syrupy somewhat clear lightly glowing brown and red with a fine tan/brown head. Aroma is of huge yogurt and cherries, light-brown sugar (opposed to dark brown sugar), seemingly virgin woodiness (not vanilla), almost cedary like fresh saw dust. Flavor is quite boozy and tannic at first, plenty of yogurt, moldy dull cherries that are conversely very sharply tart on the back-end, cheesy, the tartness lasts without any degradation though the long aftertaste, finishes very soft and smooth. Medium/full bodied, smooth light syrup texture, some hard-candy sweetness, almost no carbonation. Distinctly American. Thanks Andrew!

Bottle. Pours black with almost no head. Aroma is intoxicating, literally, of cherries, rum, raisins, dark chocolate, vanilla and sundry. Really, my nose isn’t developed enough to appreciate everything going on here. The first taste is sour, then turning sweet with a taste of figs, dates, bourbon, and flat out booze. A second taste really reveals the sourness and I wonder what I’ve gotten myself into. I really like this beer but feel that I can’t properly appreciate it... too much happening at once. The cherries are joined early on by a solid oak flavor, but then it is overwhelmed again by the sour overripe fruit flavors. Good? For sure. Up my alley? Indeed. Understood by me? Not really... and that makes me happy and sad at the same time.
