Bottled October 10th 2018 and it's 12%abv.

Pours a hazy mahogany, smells of cherries, raspberries, tannins, light funk.

The taste adds some of that rum barrel aging. Though boozy, it's tolerable. The fruitiness is massive and the level of sourness is up there as well, but that's what I expected from a sour red Ale.

Medium bodied with fairly lively carbonation.

Pretty darned tasty.

Bottle at GABF. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is leather, funk, sour fruit. Thin body, acidic, leather, oak, funk, very sour, good.

Bottle shared at Belgian Chimipalooza, thanks! Hazy amber brown with a ring tan head. Aroma of yard dark fruits, red fruits, lactic notes, caramel and malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and sour. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

GABF 2014. Pours a bit hazy, burnt orange appearance with a thin cream colored head. Wine, acetone, highly boozy, fairly acetic flavor. Herbal, cherry, and orange notes as well. Not that great.

22 oz. bottle, pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is complex, with notes of brett, red wine barrels, and moderate sour fruits. Flavour brings out tart red fruits, brett yeast, red wine barrels and fairly high vinegary. Quite complex, but a little on the vinegary side for me. The brett complexity is rather nice. Good beer.
