Bottle shared by Hophead75. Thanks Andrew! Pours a deep ruby reddish brown with a medium had that fades a bit. Aroma is woody, light stale old oakiness- some dry hay, and wierd tart cherries- almsot like a robitussin cough syrup quality to it, some barnyard funk and toasted almond- definitely not what I expected. More medicinal cherry and wood in the flavor- both try to dominate- soem sweet malts, sweet cherry and cherry pit- tannins are strong as well. Spicy and medicinal phenols wth some vanilla and plastic make it a bit muddled and dirty. Reminded me a bit of a de dolle oerbier reserva, but not nearly as good. I didnt like it much at the beginning, but it started to grow on me at the end.

Aug 19, 2008 A good deal of oak on the nose. Some nice funky undertones, light tart fruit. Pours a dark red tone with a nice fluffy head and decent sticky lacing. Woody flavors are followed by a light fruitiness that comes across as sweet and somewhat tart. A bit of funk hangs out on the palate for a second too. Tartness level is medium and the oak is pretty dominant. Somewhat dry mouth feel too.

does not count  Aug 19, 2008 Smells like oak, wood, a little tart too. Burgundy/purple concoction with a nice thick head. Pretty solid, not very see through. Lots of oak, a little metallic, then tartness. Some cherry sweetness as the end. Finishes tart and somewhat sour. Mild carbonation.
