750ml bottle bought at Liquor Shed. Harvest 2016.
Pours black, small head of tannish foam. Tilting my glass, hey there's some sticky lacing.
Smells of sour cherries, Brett and oak in that order.
Taste smacks of sour cherries, oh my, barrel adds a bit of oak wood flavours. The Brett is more subdued but I can definitely say it's there. Overall, the sour sensation is very pleasing.
Fairly light bodied with adequate carbonation.
I love sour cherries but I love sour raspberries more. And Crooked Stave has accommodated me with that option...

Fat på MBCC 2017. Vintage 2015. Smak och doft av körsbär, körsbärskärnor, trä, choklad, mörk sirap, mörka bär med toner av vinäger. Fruktig, maffig, komplex, stor sötma, intensiv syrlighet, bra balans, fin beska. Mycket gott!

@ BXLfest 2017. Brune foncée, col fin café au lait, léger doré au verre. Bouquet malté, fruité noir avec un effet grillé très plaisant qui perce en retrait avec une touche presque café, rétro fin acidulé. Palais malté grillé avec effet aigrelet suret rappelant les baies fruits noirs voire les cerises noires. Belle balance.

Thank you for sharing Martinus! Sampled draft @ BXLBeerFest 2017. I enjoyed the base version a lot more than this one honestly. Black, little head. Nose is acidic, vinegar, sour, faint roasted vinegar malt, punishingly sour. Taste is acidic vinegar punishingly sour puckering vinegar cherry, body is likewise. Nice beer but punishingly sour. All balance is lost here, regular one was far better.

Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 3/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 7/20, MyTotalScore: 2.1/5
27/VIII/17 - on tap @ BXL Beer Fest - BB: n/a (2017-1405) Thanks to the (Belgian) RB crew for sharing today's beers!
Clear dark brown beer, irregular aery big bubbled beige head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: funky, very lemony, bit of vinegar, very acidic smell. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: ridiculously acidic, so very sour, lemon juice, vinegar, some tannins, not getting much with all this acidity. Aftertaste: more vinegar, tannins, funky in a bad way, very sour and acidic, not much else. Where's the cherries? I guess the "brett" ate it all?
