Süßlicher Malzantrunk auf intensivem Niveau. Hierbei wenig frisch, dafür ziemlich süß, was auch einen Verweis auf den Alkohol darstellt. Würzig, vollmundig, der Alkohol brennt in Teilen, das Bier ist absolut für kalte Winterabende vor dem Kamin geeignet. Deutlich getreidig, das Malz ist alleiniges Aroma und lässt nur ab und an passende Beinoten zu. Meistens ist dies die unterstützende Süße, selten Hopfennoten und verlegen fruchtige Akzente. Stimmig aromatisch, ein einfach runder Barley Wine. Vielen Dank an DerDoppelbock für den gemeinsamen Test! 12/12/12/14/12

Alkoholisch kirschiger Antrunk, dunkel. Das dunkle Kirscharoma setzt sich fort, es folgt eine leichte Herbe. Abgesehen vom Alkohol spritzig, leicht malzig, vollmundig. Wenig holzig, zum Ende schwerer und deutlich weniger süffig. Vielen Dank an DerDoppelbock für das Bier! 7/9/9/10//9

Kurz säuerlicher Geruch, dann wenig süß, künstlich kirschig, holzig. Bedingt kirschiger Antrunk mit deutlichen Spuren der Lagerung, die ich als eheer störend emfpdinde. Das Bier ist hierdurch weniger frisch sondern wirkt vielmehr modrig. Die Fruchtigkeit gerät schnell in den Hintergrund und ist kaum noch erkennbar, es bleibt ein wenig säuerlicher Ton, holzig, erdig. Interessantes, aber nicht wirklich gelungenes Experiment. Vielen Dank an DerDoppelbock für diese Rarität! 6/9/7/8/11/7

bottle at RBSG 2010 - Pours red and has a pleasing tart aroma. It’s a bubbly brew with a light to medium body. It’s sweet and malty with underlying cherries and mild tartness. Pretty good but there are better flemish sours.

sampled during the 2011 RBWG weekend pours hazy and murky golden brown with a medium off white head. Aroma is sour grape and vinous with champagne yeast aromas. Flavor is sour apple, loads of wood, oak, maple. Ends mellow with only a slightly tart apple skin note.

Bottle via a trade. Pours with a hazed orange body and an off-white head. Aromas are oxidized, orange, cereal, oatmeal, brown sugar and marmalade. Flavors are bitter, oxidized, papery hops, raisins, light coffee, caramel and a touch vinous. Still decent carbonation, but over the hill.

Bottle 2007 vintage thanks to JohnGalt1. Pours out a amber/copper topped with a small head. Aroma was caramel, toffee, citrus, pit fruit, and some rich malts. Taste was more of the sweetness, and hops. Along with a nice fruit ending another nice brew from Upstream.

Bottle shared by Sean, thanks. Poured a cloudy deep gold with a white head that dissipated quickly to the edges. Aroma was full of sour fruit with some honey and a hint of oak. Flavor was similar with a sour base with some notes of oak, honey and a bit of bread.

Bottle 42 of 71 a huge thanks to ditmier for this. First let me say this is the 2nd or 3rd beer I have had from Upstream and I have been very impressed. Keep up the good work in Nebraska. Pours out a cloudy light mahogany topped with a small head. Aroma was very nice tart, apple, vinegar, cherries, and some light wood. Taste was much as the aroma with the cherries leading the way. A nice balance of sour and tart.
