Really good, would be 5 stars if not for the alcohol presence on the finish









Dark with red wine flavors. Much more body than Temptation or even Supplication. I would say that this is what sour beer drinkers graduate to.



Beer for red wine lovers. I don't like red wine, but had hopes the sour would make it ok with me. This is undeniable a well crafted beer, but I don't like the red wine and I don't care for the sour.









Reddish brown body with fizzy, rapidly fleeting head, though full (if quickly departing) lacy veil follows around the tulip. Effervescent carbonation continues to surface consistently throughout making heady patterns atop the body. Nose is of mild sour lactic balsamic vinegar with hints of white vinegar and a near forest-like rotting wood oak note that is not at all unpleasant. Taste is complex beginning with sweet sort of red wine note that evolves to currants and the notable earthy hops before a lingering and evolving lactic sourness that almost tingles down to the cockles like (buy different from) whiskey warmth. In this case, it is the sourness that shifts, moves, and jolts. Mouthfeel is super sharp and prickly in seeming contrast and exacerbation of the tartness. It is almost cola-like in its effervescence, with a medium-full body. Amazing, if not of the complexity and depth of supplication, though it remains a true delight.
