Had on-tap at Appalachian Vintner Asheville. Quick review from a 6 oz pour.
A- Pours a hazy dark amber color with a 1/2 inch off-white head that retains well before becoming a thick ring around the edge of the glass and a full sheet of surface foam. Resilient lacing leaves a full sheet behind.
S- Lots of dark fruit-like aromas that kind of reminds me of a sour. Notes of black cherry. Also some caramel sweetness with a hint of booze.
T- Flavor is a kind of mish mash of toasty malt base followed by a red wine-like fruitiness and a very faint hop bitterness. It's like it wants to go in the direction of a sour but stops at the initial taste and stays in a limbo between old ale and pale ale. You can call it balance but it's more like confusion. I will say the alcohol is well masked.
M- Very slightly tart with medium carbonation and a body leaning toward the fuller side.
O- Very good but all the IPA and Belgian characteristics are lost and instead it's gained a different kind of complexity. I'm convinced this is a vintage keg but the owner of the establishment isn't here to confirm or deny this.

On-tap at Brewvival 2012
Pours a clear orange with a dense white head. Nice aromas of tropical fruit, wine grapes, oak, malt, and alcohol. Taste is similar to the nose, definitely red wine-heavy with a mild malt profile and a good amount of tropical hops. Nothing really special, and I would have likely forgotten this beer if it wasn't in my notes. Sticky, with a medium-full mouthfeel and ample carbonation. Not a great Terrapin offering, no surprise given their recent track record.
