On tap @ Avery Sour Fest 2014. Pours a dark reddish purple appearance with a brown head. The aroma has some grape jam, light wood, and vinegar but it also has some chemical and acetone notes. The chemical notes are even more harsh in the flavor. Burning finish. Acetone. This baby has either completely fallen off the cliff or this is a really bad barrel.

Tap. Pours clear deep cabernet purple, small light purple head, dissipates with decent lacing. Aroma is quite vinous, red wine, grape juice, paint thinner, light tart lemon. Flavor starts sweet but dries out, quite acetic, finish is quite medicinal, a bit like grape cough syrup with a touch of sweat sock. Unique for sure. Medium body.

Tap - dark purple pour - smells strongly of balsamic vinegar (acetic acid, oak, grape skin), mustiness - honestly smells more like salad dressing than a beer - flavor is a bit better, sort of - there is an initial kick of flavors that are much like the sweet/acidic one-two bunch of an aged balsamic - this is followed by some sweet grape juice, sour grape skins - finish is strong acetic acid - ick - I would rather pour this over bitter greens than drink it.

Sample at Denver Rare Beer Tasting IV on 10/12/2012. The beer pours a dark brownish-amber color with a medium light beige head that diminishes steadily to a wispy film. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of cherries and malt. Full-bodied with a vinous character and notes of cherries, yeast and malt. The finish is oaky and fruity. Above average overall.
