Seems odd that a guy in Tokyo needs to add a brew from Omaha in the DB, but I guess we were just lucky to get this beer. med reddish brown color. A fairly dollop of Caramel on top of modest hops. Med full bodied. Never got cloying like too many reds, but also not overly hoppy like too many reds. Very nice balance and highly drinkable. A surprising brew that I would like to revisit. Definitely a step above average for the style

Pours a fairly thick, oily black with smallish head. The wood and fruits are present in the aroma. First taste was very strong licorice, with a definite woody note underlying. There’s also a bit of the cabernet present in the an underlying sour flavor, as well as the raisin, some coffee and chocolate. Glad I picked this one out to give a try.

Draught. Amber-orange with a fine, low head. Malty nose, a bit of caramel like in Vienna malt, some citrus hop. Fruity, grainy caramel flavor, a bit sweet. Drinkable and nice, but not special.

Draught. Nose of grassy hops, citrus, lemon. Flavor of sweet orange, earthy bitterness, citrus. Very sweet, and then very bitter. Decently made, orthodox, but somehow pedestrian IPA.

Pitch black color. Acidic, tart, dark chocolate and tootsie roll nose. An interesting underlying creaminess. Full bodied. Good roasted character, moderate sour. Alcohol well hidden. Lingering dark fruit and chocolate finish. Very enjoyable. Slight alcohol burn at the end.

This was the commercial highlight of the Great Nebraska Beer Fest for me (there were some homebrews that really stood out). Beautiful deep red beer. Aroma is all natural cherries with tartness. Not sure if there is much actual "lambic" there but its hard to tell with the natural cherry tartness. more unsweetened cherry tartness in the flavor. Not a cheap wheat beer with cherries but not a Cantillon kriek, somewhere in the middle.
