Aug 12, 2008 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.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle ’08: Thick chestnut brown pour with a tiny tan head. Fruity and sour notes. Tart as well. Hints of sour apple and cherries. Smooth and creamy mouthful into a fruity and sour/tart blend that smooths out into a nice, mellow barrel aged finish. Vinous and sour too. Delightful!!! Thanks Seth!

Aug 6, 2008 37.5 cL bottle. Pours almost fully clear and golden amber to brown with a lacing off-white head. Smooth fruity aroma with notes of prunes and raisins. Sweet malty to light barrel wooden base flavour with a great raisin to prune flavour swept through. Light acidic touch to a dense caramel malty and fruity finish. Stunning. Had a sample from an 03 vintage too.

Aug 5, 2008 375 ML Bottle-Saints & Sinners 2008-Trade w/kp-Dark cherry/mahogany color w/no head. Huge aroma of cherries & dark fruit; very winelike. Sweet flavor which features the cherries right up front, but also has flavors of raisens, yeast, & cane sugar. Tart, sour, w/some tannins to it, but they don’t overpower it; again, very winelike. Very different, but very good. Great beer to have w/a steak, or as an after dinner drink.

Aug 5, 2008 375 mL bottle sampled at Lost Abbey for RBSG 08. Poured into a wine glass. Shimmering amber color with no head or lacing. Aroma is dominated by barrel influences with a big scotch note, musty wood, and vanilla. Flavor starts out with caramel and scotch, then tart overripe cherries shine through mid-palate. The sourness and the booziness make this a bit uneven, but a prime candidate for aging. Medium bodied with a semi-dry finish.
