Very nice oud bruin, dark malts,oak and sour cherry with some vanilla flavors. The mouthfeel is perfect, it is medium with a nice lightly tart finish. It's worth seeking out.

Poured from 12 oz bottle into tulip.
A: Pours a nice deep, dark ruby hue with 1 inch light tan head with decent retention...eventually settling to a thin skim.
S: Sour cherry, cinnamon, tart berries, fresh oak, and a hint of vanilla.
T: Sour cherry, tart raspberry, fresh oak, cinnamon, sweet malt, vanilla, and a hint of almond.
M: Light body. Sweet, sour, and tart...just as it should be. Lingers and matures a bit on the palate. In the end, nicely refreshing too.
D: Very drinkable, especially for style. Very fruit-forward which makes it very approachable. A solid brew with my only knock being I wish it was a bit deeper/more complex.

Pours a very dark reddish brown. Clear, not cloudy, but almost entirely opaque. Minimal tan head that dissipates quickly. Some wispy lacing is left behind.

Aroma is mouthwateringly sour and funky. Definite cherries, with some oak and malts.

Taste is sour yet exceptionally refreshing. Very fruity and sweet but malty at the same time. Hints of vanilla.

Feel is medium with mild carbonation.

Such a complex beer! Strongly recommend picking up a four-pack of this one.
