Review #400!

Review from notes. Had this at a Pittsburgh tasting a bit ago.

750ml bottle split and poured into a Stone taster.

A - Pours a ruddy brown with an orange sunburst around the edges. There's a noticeable amount of sediment floating around within the beer, giving it a cloudy haze. Not a whole lot of head, about about a half-finger of tan foam, with low retention. Not much lacing as well, besides some rogue bubbles hanging on here and there.

S - Even before the glass reaches my nose, I get a strong, sour acidity. Yep, it smells pretty damn sour. A mild amount of grape, but definitely chock full of cherry, from the pit to the skin, all the while being nice and tart. There's a slight hint of vinegar as well, but not to the extent of something like Duchesse.

T - The taste is definitely sour all of the way through. Although, this is somewhat mitigated by a decent caramel malt influence. Again, the main flavor here is inspired by the tart cherries, and this tartness lasts for a long time. Rounding out the flavors are some green apples, grapes, and a pinch of vanilla and oak.

M - Mouthfeel is medium- to full-bodied with carbonation a touch on the low side. It has tartness for days and definitely does pucker the lips and sides of the cheeks. A bit dry as well.

D/O - Drinkability is high. Very solid flavors here with a nice, full mouthfeel. The tartness in particular is memorable and it really sticks around long after the glass is emptied.

Burgundy colored, a little darker than that even, dark red/brown, 1/5" off white head. Aroma was heavy oak and cedar, sour, dark guava fruit, plum.

Lots of wood in the mouthfeel and taste on this one. HIdes alcohol well, similar to Consecration, not as much alcohol though. Leather. Cedar. Oak. Dark cherry. Cranberry.

A - Pours a red mahogany colored body with a one finger fizzy light khaki head. No lacing or retention to this.

S - Light whiff of cranberries and leather at first. Develops into oak and some vinegar.

T - Oak and tart juicy cranberries at the front. Midway I'm getting leather and brown sugar. The finish a little sweet. Not as acidic as previous reviews say.

F - Light bodied and light carbonation. Was hoping for more carbonation here.

O - I imagine age has smoothed the rough edges on this. Very well refined.
