Id like to re-rate this. Phenominal! I could live off this stuff. The right balance of complex offputting shades of red...sour apples, grapes, and lots of black cherry. Small vinegar texture, good for the heart. Lots of bubblies and a neat well laced head. You cant do wrong with this stuff. I will admit the first time I had this, I was a bit culture shocked...took a few times for me to become a fan.!

Aug 20, 2008 2008 Bottle - Pours dark red with a sizable offwhite head...generous lacing, aroma is dominated by dry fruit, wood esters, apple...flavour follows, big oak up front, great tart fruit on the front end, turns cloying and sweet on the end, finishes like fruit juice, fleeting with only a bit of residual flavour and thins...very fun bottle to taste

Aug 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep amber brown with rocky head. Aroma was fruit and cherries and sherry smell. Flavor was thinner and dissipated more quickly than the aroma would suggest, but it was delightful. Very sweet but a lot going on. And at 6% it doesn’t knock you out.

does not count  Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Deep amber in colour but very sweet in taste. Thick and intense. I paired this beer with cold radish kimchi and it was magical. The deep cherry flavour mixed well with the slight kick of the kimchi... creating a strange (but good) mix of thick sweet and spicy flavours. Saved a little for after dinner and continued to enjoy. Best enjoyed slowly.
