| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 25, 2009 Not as good as I thought it would be. Too sweet for me. Sweet like a lambic. I love the sourness though. JesseM (664), Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 24, 2009 330mL bottle from a group order. Classy label. Pours a clear burgundy with a small off-white head. Very little carbonation. The aroma is sharp, oak, malt vinegar, cherries, very invasive of the nose, quite nice. Flavour starts out with some sweet cherry then immediately the sourness kicks in. Wow, super tart, mouth-puckering, fizzy moldy and cheesy, kind of like yoghurt. Very impressive. Quite tasty and well integrated, feels a bit stronger than 6%. One of the few oak aged beers I’ve had that doesn’t seem unnecessary to me. Not hugely complex, just a good enjoyable puckering beer. Glad I have more than one bottle. lowgun1212 (77), Montclair, New Jersey, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 21, 2009 dark cloudy brown with tan head. strongly smells like salt, lemon, honey, slight yeast. taste is sour fruit, sweet vinegar. turns to a woody hop and then mineral bitterness. interesting development. good carbonation lifts it off the tongue before the oak is too much. Like a really dry Orangina. blutt59 (2092), Dallas, Texas, USA
