On tap at GABS Festival in Melbourne, May 2014.
Pours a dark brown colour, slight bit of cloud where light is visible, nice tan head, foamy with some sticky lace left behind. Looks good.
Smells fruity. Dark cherry with a hint of grape character to it, possibly just that artificial grape ester kind of note though. Bit of pineapple as well; barnyard and a decent whack of oak. Pleasant.
Taste is a bit lighter. Tastes quite funky and wild with some notes of chardonnay and cider upfront. Gets more tart and almost vinegary later with a touch of oak as well. Not a great deal of roast; gets dominated by whatever souring agent they've inoculated this with. Decent, but not a huge amount of character considering its prestige and what the description promised.
Body is a bit thin, too, and quite tingly from the carbonation and possibly drying from the yeast as well.
I think I might reasonably have expected a bit more from this. Not bad, but it had so much potential to knock me out and it just doesn't quite make it.

We love reviews (150 characters or more)! Check out: How to Review a Beer. You don't need to get fancy. Drop some thoughts on the beer's attributes (look, smell, taste, feel) plus your overall impression. Something that backs up your rating and helps others. Thanks!
