Tasted this at Cascade Brewing in Portland where it was featured as a live barrel. Smelled uncannily like port (currants, raisins). Several layers of flavor: sour cherries, porter, bourbon notes. Overall, outstanding.

Pours out looking like some ruddy thick, imperial brown ale, almost no head on it. Aroma was so much nicer and complex, leather, cherry, bourbon, chocolate, oak, lactic sourness.

Taste was even more complex than the base, the cherry is dark and enjoyable, not overly sweet, this one brings out the chocolate a little. The leather and tobacco leaf edge are nice. Maybe even a small little amount of brown sugar and cinnamon in the smallest way.

Those bottles of the base are pretty expensive, but I think I might be willing to drop $30 if they ever bottle this one.

Poured on draft at the Cascade Barrel House

Poured into snifter - a dark garnet with massive khaki head with thick lacing. Tart cherries and lactic in the nose, along with dark fruit, bourbon and oak. The tartness dominates up front, but fades into oak and cherries with hints of tobacco and oak. This is a fantastic beer and I look forward to having it again.

On tap at the LA Beer Week Kickoff Festival held at Exposition Park in Los Angeles, CA.

Pours an opaque black with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a small cap on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is sour with dark roasted malt, cherry, cherry juice, bourbon, wood, and acidic aromas. Taste is much the same with sour cherry, cherry juice, cocoa powder, bourbon, and wood flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a very good beer with fantastic sour cherry, cocoa powder, and bourbon qualities all around.

Serving type: on tap.
