Garnet brown-red body with no head or lace. Full bouquet of raisin, cherry, sour white grape, sherry cask and a bit of barnyard with minor hints of alcohol. Flavor much the same as the nose: sour white grapes with cask/ barrel characteristics are predominant. Finish is dry. Very enjoyable.

Jul 29, 2008 From Stone Sour class taught by Tomme Arthur. (I lost my notes so this is to the best of my memory.) Strong sour ale colored deep red with light head. Tastes of cherries but also a rich, malty fruit I can’t put my finger on. Very interesting aroma and aftertaste. I think it has something to do with the aging in oak barrels. Very rich and strong. Quite good.

Jul 27, 2008 Bottle thanks to Ughsmash. Brownish red with a medium fluffy off-white dissipating head. Aroma of paint thinner, sourness, mild cherry and mild oak. Taste is massively sour and dry throughout with a sour finish. Some of the oak character does come out but it only gets me thinking how I’m not a big fan of things aged in barrels, I don’t get the fascination. At least this one wasn’t a whiskey barrel.

Jul 20, 2008 Pours a dark red with a decent head. Flavor is full of tartness, with a symphony of medium malts and dark fruits just behind it. Really a great beer, on par with Duchess de Borgogne, one of my favorite beers. If you like sour ales, you have to try this one.

Jul 19, 2008 11.2 oz bottle-cloudy red color w/a very slight white head & good lacing. Sour cherry aroma. Sour, tart flavor of cherries, currents, & dark fruit. This one was a little intense; I wouldn’t drink it all the time, but it was a nice change of pace. NIce after dinner sipper. Long carbonated finish.

Jul 18, 2008 On tap at Luka’s in Oakland. Pours a dark, murky red with a small off-white head. Aroma of sour, oak, cherries, some vanilla and caramel as well. Taste is sour at first and a bit sweet and watery in the finish. Currants and sour cherries. Odd mouthfeel of syrupyness with some fizz.
