Deep brick red with a tall head. Tart fruity notes, cherry, light spice, sweet balsamic vinegar, molasses. Medium bodied. Finish is long on the fruit and sour, too. Quite an enjoyable winter sipper.

Bottle shared from Logan. 2011 vintage. Lively gusher. Pours cloudy, dark brown, with a giant, foamy, tan head. The aroma is toasted oak, balsamic vinegar, old leather, cloves, and molasses. Sweet and acerbic, with a mild tartness. Medium to heavy body, silky, a little thin, with lively carbonation. I’m not sure if this was supposed to be a sour, but it totally works as one. Lively, smooth, and complex.

750 mL bottle poured at a tasting. Reddish brown color pour with an active fizz head. Dark fruit aroma, with oak and soft malt. Earthy I suppose. Flavor is juicy up front. Soft spice, oak, mixed berry and black cherry flavors that linger. Very nice beer. Enjoyed this.

Flaska från demolenbeershop, batch 897, 2011 vintage. Stor kropp med rejäl sötma men ännu större syrlighet som är fruktig men också lite träig. Körsbär, plommon, jordgubbar, russin, syrliga äpplen, apelsinskal men även lätt kryddig med lite nejlika och muskot. Bra balans och mycket fat och lite funk. Riktigt gott.

Backlog. Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 20.05.13. Clear brown. A little lambic/brett in aroma. Taste is at first sour, but then more malt develops. Short aftertaste. Dry. Decent drinkability.
