Commercial Description:
This bold Belgian Style Ale is a blend of 4 sources of fermentable sugars. American Oak, sour cherries, and three seperate strains of brettanomyces. It takes over a year to make each batch because a beer like this requires patience, creativity, and most importantly, equal parts luck and skill. We know of no other beverage in the world that tastes like this.

1. Sample from a Bottle at Logan’s Pre GABF Party, Denver 10/10/2007 (2004 Oak Aged Vintage) Fruity woody and whisky aromas. Dark coloured fruity and strong in alcohol with a pleasant whisky finish. 2. From the Bottle at the Falling Rock Tap House, Denver 26/09/2009 (2009 Vintage) Big sour aroma. Amber coloured very fruity and sour with a crisp and dry malt finish.

Bottles poured at NHC pro brewer night. Poured ruby brown. Nose is a tart cherry with notes of sweet fruit and fig. Flavor is out of this world! Big sour cherry, sweet sugary malts, figs, mild wood, some alcohol sweetness. Amazing.

375ml bottle. Beautiful beer. Foamy thick head that’s not collapsing any time soon. Dark reddish-brown body that doesn’t let much light through. Fantastic sour aroma. Not overly powerful, but clearly there. While the sourness may be clearly there in the aroma, it is nicely muted by the Oak aging. Additionally, the oak is not overpowering, just rounding out the sharp edges of the sour cherries. Tomme Arthur suggests aging his beers, but this one is pretty yummy right now!!

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.

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!

Bottle 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.

Sinner’s club. Brownish ale color. Intense taste of sour cherry and tart. Incredible flavor of cherry and brett. Man. This is an amazing sour red/brown. Really enjoyable.
