Dark amber-colored beer, with a huge amount of floaties, and a fizzy head that disappears fast - lots of oxidation in the aroma, with mild acidity and fruit skin tannins, and underlying sweet raisin, cherry, caramel, baked apples - fairly earthy, tart, and acidic up front, with some wine-like character - this is followed by sweeter flavors of caramel, raisin, orange peel, mild spices - there is an over ripe apple quality that combines well with the acidity - the alcohol is completely masked - dries out again in the finish, and there is some light barnyard funk in the background - I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to taste like this, but whatever infected this bottle makes it work pretty well.

Aug 25, 2008 750 ml. Foggy copper with a small but lasting, creamy head and a frosty residue on the glass. Woody, white wine aroma also has some sourish-yeasty funk and light vinegar. Flavor is similar but has more caramel apple-brown sugar and dark berry up front to provide some body. Turns more to tart apple-berry with the bitter apple core; then ends with a blend of caramel, oak, toasted pecan and cider vinegar. Light body is dry, acidic-tingly and soft on the carbonation. Refreshing summertime drink.

Aug 19, 2008 Un assaggio dal bicchiere di Nicoletta al Falstaff; ottima impressione, dopo che una bottiglia bevuta mesi fa si era rivelata terribile (andata a male).

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours copper with a white head. Aroma has spice, fruit, and a bit of sour berry. Medium body. Lightly sweet flavor, with fruits and spices. Ends on a funky sour note. Not bad.

Jul 18, 2008 Pour is a dark red with a large tan head. Aroma at first was a little skunky thanks the the green bottle but things changed quickly. Lots of sour fruit followed with some spice and funk. Flavor is again super sour fruit with a large spice with a heavy breadyness. Finish has some barnyard-horseblanket or whatever you call it funk. This is a very good beer at a decent price and something to look for.
