Traded for this a long time ago when it first came out.
A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a murky garnet hue with no head at all. Decent legs but other than that it's still.
S - Aromas of funk, sour cherries, light bourbon, little oak, complex. Deep inhales though bring up something a little medicinal.
T - Taste is very vinous, tart, tangy cherries, funky, vinegar. Not quite puckering, decent barrel notes, oak, faint faint bourbon. Almost flanders like in the sourness and darkness going on here. No alcohol.
M - Mouthfeel is very lowly carbonated, a bit heavy/syrupy. Not flemmy though and the ABV is hidden nicely
O - Overall this beer was unfortunately rather confusing. With more carbonated perhaps the flavour and aroma would pop some more than it did. Kind of boring on the taste...one note tart cherries and barrel sweetness. Quite unfortunate.
