May 6, 2008 Bottle thanks to Willblake for sharing. Hazy dark amber color with a small off white head. Tart, Bretty aroma with some oak, citrus and cherries. Flavor starts off slightly sweet, with hints of cherry and oak before turning nice and tart with some wet leather, citrus and a wee bit of vanilla. Very tasty.

May 5, 2008 Landed this as a sample at DLD. Pours mid orange and amber with short off white head. Aromatic is sour, brett, acidic, light cherry fruitiness. Mouth is dry similar to scent and a little bready. A real solid blend here.

May 4, 2008 WOW, I can’t believe I finally got to try this beer. Thanks to Ughsmash for sharing some of his sample with me for this rating at DLD. Hazy orange-red with long lasting medium beige head. Aroma is really funky amd a little earthy with red fruit, pretty nice. Exquisite sour flavor with dirty, cherry, medium sweetness, really well done and balanced. Medium body with a little pucker, more would be nice but that is just a preference and doesn’t take away from the actual beer itself. An aesome beer, who knew that I would be trying so many sours at an imperial stout release.

May 1, 2008 Bottled at DLD, thanks to masonjer for opening! Poured medium or a touch deeper amber with a nice cap of beige head.. sticky lacing followed it down. The aroma picked up sour darker fruit skins and vinegar upfront with dusty funk and a hit of darker sweetness behind. The flavor was good and tart with malt vinegar and tart cherry skins.. finished dry with some grainy yeast and cherry sweetness.. there was more than I could comprehend going on here, but it sure came together well. Tart overall on the palate with a dry and refreshing finish.. very well done!

Apr 29, 2008 had been looking forward to trying this one, I was not dissapointed. Poured a nice orange amber color. Aroma was some sour funk and wood coming through, as well as a vinous quality. Taste was nice funk, nothing mouth puckering, but almost soft for a sour, nice backing fruit and some wood as well, slightly earthy as well. This was very well balanced, nice full mouthfeel, drinkable yet packed with flavor. Looks like they nailed the blend.
