2013 bottle shared by Ryan at Your Old Droog Cellar Blast. Bottle shared 9 years or so after release. Pours a clear dark brown with a small bit of foam that dissipates. Notes of dark fruit, cherry and vanilla. Smooth, but a bit flat and oxidized. Well-past it's prime but drinkable and enjoyable. A fun night cap at a cellar clearing share.

Funky as Bootsy Collins’ underpants. Full of horseblanket, grape must, citrus, blueberry and raspberry, vanilla, oak, rye, and a healthy dose of bourbon on the back end. Crazy as shit, but pretty delicious.

Bottle thanks to Bryan. Pours a brown color with a medium white head. A big fruity barrel nose. Light funky sourness, bourbon, sweet nutty base, some light caramel. Interesting beer. Whiskey and wood and prunes. Tart.

Draft at Pint Central. Dark brown color tan head. Aroma of vanilla bourbon and roast. Taste is sour bourbon, not pleasant.

A deep dark brown ale with a thin brown head. In aroma, superb mix of ground cherries, lactic acid, light leather, Brett, treacle, very nice and complex. In mouth, a nice tart fruity malt with loads of ground cherries, lactic acid, Epsom salts, light Brett, very tannic and complex. On tap at Syracuse Winter Brewfest 2017.

Bottle shared by Chris on 10/15/16.
Deep "groovy" brown body has auburn-mahogany highlights and a quickly receding, off-white head. High clarity.
The acetic acid is strong in this one. Lots of cherry, raspberry, strawberry-like esters with light balsamic character and a vanilla-caramel maltiness that is seemingly fairly well-attenuated. Pretty aggressive, with some light alcohol heat/vapors and not much going on other than an assault of sour acids and light wood.
Very sour in the mouth with cherry-like notes, strong wood and lingering heavy acetic acid. Oaky, caramel-laden notes intensify the beer, as well, and it’s lightly boozey with too much sweetness on the end as well. Peppery carbonation and a slick texture. Well, if you love acetic acid....

bomber from AFH, foamed quite a bit. dark brown appearance. Looks great with a 2 finger dark white-ish head. Smells very oaky, tannic, raspberry, blueberry and peach. Very light tartness, funk that starts and ends around the middle leaving a cherry pie flavor. i think I’ve enjoyed every vintage of these. Reminds me of Melange 11 but on the lighter side.

Cellared in my cellar since purchase. Small slow gusher upon opening.Black in color liquid. The aroma is very acidic with sour grapes and funky Oak. The flavor is dominant and funky oak, mild red grape, acidic aftertaste. Finn and body without any character. To be fair I don’t really like the style at all .... I purchased this on a whim.
