Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet banana and clove aromas. Soft wheat and sourdough upfront turning to tropical fruit in the medium length finish.

375 ml bottle shared by Phatdog1, awesome share, thanks! Bottle number 123 of 925. Massive oil slick when swirled around in the snifter. No head and pitch black. Aroma is pretty awesome, chocolate, oak barrel and brandy.
The flavor is off somehow. Funky oak, tobacco, dirty socks and and sharp copper penny note. What the hell went on here? The alcohol hasn’t mellowed out at all either. We really were hoping this would develop, it didn’t. Then realized the base stout was 2009. Yeah, it makes sense why we were tasting oxidation. Not a good thing.

Very nice as well. Great Flander’s red. Pours orange with good head and lacing. Some cloudy sentiment. Tart and fruity finish. Good stuff. Tap at Snallygaster.

Draft pour at Snallygaster 2014. Poured a ruby brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was notes of light tart vinegar notes, funky yeast notes, some oak notes. Flavor was fruity, oak notes, with light barrel and smooth booze notes. Girlfriend liked this one a lot.

Location: 12.7 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 9/11/14
Aroma: The nose is sweet and vinous, strong malts, dark fruit, oak, and some spice
Appearance: This one pours a rather murky dark reddish-brown color with a thick, lasting froth of beige-brown head that leaves a heck of a lot of coating and drippy lacing on the glass
Flavor: The flavor is heavy sweet and very malty, the red wine is very present here, there's no balance
Palate: The mouthfeel is rather smooth, with average carbonation, and a dry wine finish
Overall Impression: This may have been sitting in the back of the fridge for a minute, not I'm not exactly sure when I got it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't super recently. Anyway, I'm not really sure how well the red wine blends with the underlying beer, but this one felt closer to a miss to me than a hit. It was still worth trying though.
