Dark Garnet Red color. Sweet wine aroma with a little vinegar smell to it as well. Balsamic, perhaps. Vinous to its core. Surprisingly low alcohol amount as it is somewhat sticky and evaporating like a higher proof drink. Even girls could drink this one. Not far off from a Framboise. As it warms, the beerness comes to the fore more over the sweetness. Still a fine drink.

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.

Aug 19, 2008 On tap at Falling Rock Tap House in Denver, 8/11/08. Pour brown with red hues. Nose is sweet and sour with lots of vinegar. Taste is sweet caramel with apple and cherry with mild vinegar and slight candy. Tasty and complex.

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.
