Poured from a 750 ml bottle that I proceeded to drink by myself. Aroma is slightly malty with some medium light notes of toasted bread, caramel and toffee. Light nuttiness with some low oak notes. Low acidity with some light citrus. Faint stone fruit but moderately berry, cherry and dark fruit notes. Pours a brownish color with some hints of burnt auburn and red hues. Small, moderately thick tan head that recedes quickly to the edges. Light lacing and medium sized legs. Flavor is fairly acidic with some light peach puree notes in the background. Some light malt notes of toasted bread and caramel. Hints of citrus with some moderate notes of dark fruit including berries, cherries and plums. Light bitterness with some light oak character and tannins. Hints of alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, one of the more acidic beers from SARA but the darker malt notes hide a lot of the peach character. Its a nice beer, but the malt muddles it a bit. Some nice light oak notes. Could be fruitier or a lighter base beer for peaches.

Yay, first rating! Bottle shared among friends. Pours cloudy golden amber, lots of chunks. Small off-white head that dissipates leaving good lacing. Aroma is mega apricot, flesh, skins, pits, everything, touched by a bit of musty basement funk. Flavor is apricot with a capital "A" medium sour and super fruity, with just a light touch of funkiness. Lots of apricot skin flavors. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Tasty.

Bottle, shared among friends, thanks! Pours cloudy reddish chestnut with a small tan head that dissipates quickly leaving good lacing. Aroma is very raspberry jammy, some faint funky notes, a bit of dark sugar, oak tannins. Flavor is kinda sweet and just a bit tart, lots and lots of raspberry in this one, jammy and yummy with a malty backbone with toffee and other dark sugars. A bit of funk for complexity, and definite vinous barrel notes present as well. Medium plus, creamy body. Very very good.
