On tap at Swiftwater Brewing in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a dark murky reddish color, with a small head, and no lacing.
This smells like red wine vinegar and apple cider vinegar, oak, macerated cherries, and plum.
This is almost tastes like wine-barrel aged apple cider vinegar with cherries added. You expect to get a bit of vinegar in this style, but this is approaching overwhelming. It's still tasty, as the cherry character that's come out is nice, and you get a bit of warm toasted oak. A friend of mine described this is as tasting "young." Though I agree with that tasting assessment, it's peculiar it would taste that way, as it spent 2 and a half years in the barrel.
This is light bodied, with a tart lingering finish, and a good level of carbonation, especially for how long it was in the barrel.
This is interesting, but the apple cider vinegar thing has to be turned down somehow.
