Thanks Johnfrompurdue. I figured I'd never see this one.
Pours somewhere between a ruby and light brown. Good head, good retention. Musty sour faded red wine grapes on the nose, slight oak. Taste shows soured old grapes, slight oak, little amount of sweetness and dryness balancing each other and neither really come through. Nicely carbonated and great on the palate.
I know this is supposed to have fallen off, but for not having it before it is a very well done AWA.

Another bottle shared by Tomme and crew. Poured into a tasting snifter.
Appearance: Pours a reddish amber color with just a ring of off white head.
Smell: Sweet and tart with some cherries and funk. I'm getting some brown sugar sweetness from the malt.
Taste: Brown sugar notes from the malt right off the bat. Tart fruit notes along with some funk. The cherries are nice with the sweet and sour flavors. The finish is sour and a little bitter.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with fluffy, tingly carbonation and a slick finish.
Overall: This is a complex beer. The tartness is rather smooth. I really enjoyed the malt sweetness combined with the sour flavors.
