Nov 2, 2007 The beer poured a nice deep brown color with a slight tan head. This beer definitely has the look and aroma of a nice fruity Port. The taste was of a nice low carbonated, earthy brew with slight taste of oaking from the aging process. The 12% abv makes this a nice dessert drink to sip on and that is how I had it. The alcohol is apparent but not overpowering.

Oct 30, 2007 Updated: Jul 16, 200810/30/07 375 ml bottle. Most recent bottling. Thanks to drewbeerme for consoling my loss of darklord with this fine brew. Pours a dark ruby plum with no head. Aroma is very sour with wine, red grapes, tobacco, and a earthiness. Sour flavors of red fruit, candied, cherry, oaky, very tart with dark chocolate hints. Very tasty beer. 9/3/8/4/16 = 4.0
7/10/08: 08 vintage on the train from Flossmoor Station thanks again to andrew. Brown red with a beige head and chunks swirling around. Strong nice aroma. Sour cherries, oak, lactic acid, with a sweet dough and breadiness. That rich dough and bready malts in the flavor as well. With sour cherries, oak, lactic acid, grapes, and a lot of wine especially as it warms. The carbonation is lively and much more enjoyable than the last vintage. Especially with the carbonation, everything is balanced so well. Excellent beer. 9/4/8/4/17 = 4.2

Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, nutty), average hops (flowers, grass), average yeast (leather, earth) with notes of cola and vanilla. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.

Oct 17, 2007 Pours dark red. Fruit on the nose, with loads of oaky vanilla. Good fruit flavors, and acidic sourness, mellowed by vanilla oak flavors, warming and smooth. I haven’t had anything like this before. Very good.

Oct 6, 2007 Updated: Mar 31, 2009375ml Lost Abbey Bottle (Thanks Secret Santa!), Poured deep brown with a reddish hue. There was no head with the initial pour, but I managed to kick up some bubbles with swirling. Beautiful tart sour cherry aroma, along with oak notes. Incredibly complex flavor with tart cherries, wood, dates, raisin, wet leather and vinous notes. Tart cherry and oak finish. This beer is a masterpiece.
