Jul 2, 2009 bottle from hophead22- Thanks TIM. pours a murky swampwater brown with a small head. tart, but not in a mouthpuckering way. notes of sour cherries, wood, sour grapes, oak, some vinegar and earth. pretty good and interesting for sure. Alcohol is very well hidden. could go for a little more.

Jul 2, 2009 This one is interesting...Not normally a HUGE fan of Belgian style beers, but this one might make me start trying new things... Pours a dark brown with reddish tints. Short brown head with a wonderfully fruity aroma. It’s very sour, but only on the tip of the tongue and not on the sides of your cheeks. Taste is pretty amazing. Has a very cherry-licious flavor. A great beer!

Jun 30, 2009 Updated: Jul 1, 2009Bottle given to me from JCB in celebration of the birth of my daughter (welcome to the world, Isabel!). Shared with my wonderful wife, who decided this beer was worth tossing out some breast milk. Pours dark brown and hazy, with just a wisp of head upon its pour, but not much after that. Smells lovely... sour cherries, dark cherries, oak, some vanilla, cocoa, bourbon, cognac, and brett notes. Lots more of the cocoa coming out on the taste. Similar to a fine Flanders red or an oud bruin, but dusted in cocoa powder, which gives a nice bitter contrast to the sourness of the cherries and wood. Damn fine.

Jun 25, 2009 Red brown with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, cherries, vanilla, cognac and cabernet-sauvignon-like berries. Sweet and tart flavour of cherry and red wine, with American oak.

Jun 20, 2009 Big thanks to TimE for sharing this bottle with me. Deep ruby/brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is full of oak, sour cherries, light vanilla, some spices, I think some chocolate, and just a bit of must. Beings rather sour with noticeable cherries, then the oak bulls its way through leaving you feeling abused- but in a good way. Some vanilla, light spicing, I picked up a little caramel in the flavor, as well. Finish has sweet, sour berries. Stunning.
