Large shared bottle poured with a hazy red-brown body and a modest head.

Fruity, sour, lightly spicy and smoky aroma.

Very dry finish reminiscent of dry red wine.

Lightly sour and bitter.

Cellared.

A: Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a snifter glass. In the glass, this ale is a murky, dull brown. Lacing is decent and hangs on the glass.

S: Some funkiness and cellar mustiness, citric fruitiness and alcohol. Very nice!

T: Taste seems muted. Perhaps I cellared this beer too long and consequently mellowed the taste too much. Very subtle sweet and tart mix, some citric fruit, and a pine sap hop bitterness. Strong alcohol in the aftertaste detracts somewhat from the initial taste. Weird that I usually like a lot of alcohol in the taste. However, doesn't quite work for me here.

O: Enjoyable, but not really representative of the style. Certainly not a favorite beer for me. Appearance and smell give this beer strength. An earthy cheese pairing could be a difference maker for this beer.

Dark brown ith some reddish highlights. Smoke and roast along with the malt in the aroma. A little sour, woody.Smooth mouthfeel. Aged somewhat since brewed which may have mellowed the hops.

750 ml bottle poured into a small snifter. Thanks Will! Small head, low retention, hazy copper body with minimal clear lacing. Aroma includes tart cherry and apply, cinnamon, brown sugar and caramel. Taste has less tartness than expected but includes some brandy and port notes, some background sweetness, light tartness, slight calvados. Certainly unexpected for the style but a very tasty beer with well hidden alcohol. This would be one to continue to follow as it cellars its way though the next several years.
