Pours into the glass a solid dark brown with faint ruby highlights when held to light and a smallish off white head that quickly dissipates to a cap. The aroma is fruity and tart with a hint of oak on the edges. The flavor is quite different. Up front is a tongue piercing fruity tartness followed by some oak and a bit of sweet and a whole lot of alcohol heat. Medium to light body with a light level of carbonation and a tart sour mouthfeel. Quite acidic and tart, it kind of works, but is not my favorite.

75cl, new exclusive American brew Anno 2011, with red wine grapes (Syrah), thx to Secret Santa!, complex sour brew, woody/vinous and slightly fruity/spicy, balanced, cloudy, nearly no head, very good X-Mas brew, yet very expensive!

27 July 2012, bottle. Dark brown. Nose is really tart brown ale. Thin body and slightly fizzy. Faintly syrupy. Bitter oaky, tart, nutty brown notes. Really great! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

The aroma brings sweet notes, a bit of brown sugar with some sweet unique wood like notes I can’t place my tongue on specificall, maybe raisins and plums.
