On tap at the Bruery Reserve Initiation party 2011. Pours a murky rust mahagony color with a slight tan head that collars around the glass. Nice tart cherry aroma in the nose along with slight acetone. Light mouthfeel. Well balanced comes to mind as I drink this. It really isn’t overly sweet or sour but somewhere in the middle with the sweetness of the cherries being counteracted by the tartness and vice versa. Ends with a lingering tartness. Very drinkable.

On tap at the Reserve party and one of my favorites of the day. Dark reddish in color with some off white head. Good solid sour flavors wrapped in a medium bodied beer. Complex mix of sweet fruit ( orange, plum, lemon) with a healthy backbone of yummy sour cherries. Really good balance of tartness vs. sweetness. Could have drank much more of this for sure.

Dark brown with a creamy tan head. Very nice caramel chocolate a cherry aroma and taste with a tart acidic finish.

Had this on tap at The Bruery under the "Thanksgiving leftovers" section. Was amazed to show up and see this, Cherry Chocolate Rain, -bal aged Coton, and Sour Rugbrod with lingonberries all on tap. Mega score. I couldn’t help but get shitfaced in front of my fiancee’s teetotaling parents. That’s life I guess. This beer pours a hazy deep cherry red color with little head to speak of. Not the best appearance, but for this beer it works. The aroma is excellent, slightly acetic and tart with big cherry notes and some spices. Not too nose-burning. The flavor is excellent, almost off-the-charts. Nice malty character, with slight caramel, red berries, and a slight hint of vinegar. Huge, huge sweet and sour cherries on the finish. Like almost Wisconsin Belgian Red magnitude cherry flavor. There’s also a great tartness to it, bretty and lactic. Nice acidic palate with low carbonation and a spicy and sour tingling to it, which I really liked. This is the best wild ale I’ve ever had from The Bruery. They really nailed it.

Served on-tap at the 2011 bruery RS initiation party into a taster glass. Glad I got a sample of this early. A - Pours deep brown with a small head leaving little to no lacing down the glass. Nothing special really. S - Similar to supplication. Tart cherries, oak, vanilla sweetness mix well with a lightly toasted malt center. Pretty good but it kind of works against itself. T - Quite a bit of sour cherries up front with a moderate amount of lingering acidity. Plenty of chunky cherry flavor adds a touch of sweetness. Some vanilla and oak come thru once the acidity dye down. One of the best beers at the party. Very nice stuff. M - Good body with a lingering tart cherrie feel. The carbonation was a little low but it worked in its favor I think. Pretty good. D - I am glad I got a sample of this. It could have used a bit more cherries but it was still pretty good. I hope they end up bottling it at some point. I would love to have a few.

Oude tart w/ cherries. on tap at the tasting room. leftover from the barrel-aged beer party... Pours a semi-opaque darker mahogonay reddish brown with a thin light beige head... Aroma of sour cherries with a mild sweetness, acidic vinegar, light acetone...Flavors are of the vinegar nature with. Sour cherries although less acidic than the original oude tart. Really smooth, semi-sweet. All good in this beer. 8/4/8/4/17

I had this on tap at the Bruery’s Reserve Society 2011 initiation party held at the Phoenix Club. It’s a murky brown pour and the sour cherries complement the Oude Tart nicely. Very enjoyable.

Draft. Mahogony beer with no head. Tart, cherry aroma. Tart/sour flavor with cherries and malt. Medium bodied. Tart/sour lingers with light acetic notes, cherries, and malt.

Sample at Bruery tasting. Slightly hazy red/brown pour, with small off-white head. Fruit, lots of sweet red cherry flavor, acidic tartness, and light vinegar. A really nice cherry sour ale, glad to try it.

Tap at The Bruery. Lots of tart cherry flavors and funk. Crisp and clean with small bubbles. I liked this a lot.
