Pizza Port Cuvee de Tomme

Pours brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of cherry and some bourbon. Flavor is tart, slightly sweet. Very solid. Don’t notice the alcohol at all. Thanks Sean!

375ml from Sinners Club. Deep dark pour, russet to dark brown. Very still, with almost no carbonation. But the nose is splendid, with lovely musty notes piling up everywhere, some trace of old ale in there that I just can’t put my finger on. Initial taste is certainly very heavy on the dark cherry, a sour front with a nice dry finish that complements the very awesome hint of pepper that emerges as you swirl it on your palate. But again, there’s this note in the middle - is it leather, tobacco, something a bit like that? - that makes this brew very enigmatic and appealing, giving just a bit of a tweak to an already very strong beer. Keep ’em coming, Tomme!

2008 bottling. Clear chestnut color with a tan head. Nice aromas of dark caramel cherries with lemon and wood. Medium body, Good taste is mildly sour with dark raisons, cherry, tart lemon and a wet wood mustiness. A nice bretty boozy woody concoction.

Thanks to Rustychiles. 2008 bottle. Pours a supernatural brown color that is just barely see-through. Nose is amazingly complex and beautiful. Heavy Brett character, cherries, burnt fruit, oak, and lots of bourbon. Initially, the alcoholic taste of the bourbon overwhelms all other tastes. Significantly improves as it warms up; lots more of the Brett and cherries are noticeable. A very complex beer. Super carbonated, which took away from the taste somewhat as well. Not as impressive as I had imagined, but very complex. Definitely for sharing.

100th rating! 2008 bottle thanks to IrishBoy! Pours a deep brown, nearly black with a tan head that dissipates pretty quick. Smell is really thick and spicy, with strong hints of alcohol. There’s some cherries there if you smell hard. Taste is unbelievably complex, unlike anything I’ve ever had before. It’s very sweet at first, with strong hints of cherries that sort of last throughout the taste. After the initial sweetness, it gets really tart fairly quick. A lot of the spicyness alcohol from the nose is pretty much gone. It finishes up a little bit smoky, or sort of oaklike, but not very strong. Tastes almost like what I’d imagine a really good fruit wine to taste like. Mouthfeel is nice, carbonation isn’t too high, and it’s not too thick, but it isn’t exactly watery either. Very enjoyable, if a bit intense with respect to the sour cherry sort of flavour it has.

thanks cmubeerman. I’ll start by saying this is just a sour version of judgement day. Nutty color with a thin white head. Aroma of caramel, alcohol, figs, dates, raisins and toffee. Not overly sour tasting - grapefruit, oak, quite bretty. Overripe fruit.

Bottle (2008) at home - thanks to Sune for sending this !!! Dark nutbrown - offwhite head. Cherry, raisins, bourbon, vanilla, sourness, brett, bike-glue, cinnamin, dark fruits, sweetness, tart,spicy, vinous and warming. Very smooth and harmonic. I Love This VeryMuch.

zero head, my pour was really swampy and opaque. sour rotten fruit aroma, and a bit of alcohol. hot aroma, though i wouldn’t say it’s alcohol, strange as that is. tastes flat, very sweet, lots of fruit, excellent.
