Bottle, sampled at RBSG 08, with thanks to Toncatcher. Pours a deep dark brown with a tan ring. Aroma of malt and berries, the cranberry comes through wonderfully. Tart and dry toasted malt and cranberry taste. Lingering tartness. Different and very tasty.

GABF 2008. Pours dark brown with a small, fizzy, off-white head, somewhat diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, cookie, cereal), light hops (grass), average yeast (earth, musty) with notes of wood and cranberries. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

At the ABR. Pours deep dark brown with huge tan head. Strong bourbon oak and vanilla notes, subtle light tart fruits notes. Tart fruits that are cranberries came off a little sweet. Reminds me of a traditional lambic from the way it made my mouth pucker. Notes of bourbon in the finish and a good amount of acidity. Very nice beer.

thanks to bitbucket tasting. Dark brown with small head. Interesting balance of chocolate and red fruit. A little bit tannic towards the finish.

22 oz. bottle @ liquid sunshine tasting - thanks to yonkers65; pours dark brown, murky and flat; thin tan head remains around the edges; thick and creamy; tons of cherries, but much more on the dank side of things rather than the sweet; drinks dry; pretty nice

RBSG 2008. Interesting tart berry nose, once Dennis pointed out the cranberries it all seemed to make sense. I grew up in a place with lots of cranberries, but they don’t use them for much so the mind seems to skip right over them. The impart a bitter and tart character to it, working off the sweeter dark roasty malts. The body seems to thin out a bit from their tartness, but it seemed to come together nicely.
