Been a week or so, and I am fully aware that I'm slacking off, but never fear, because a beer is never too far away from these lips, and a review is never too far away from this mind. Going to be honest up front about this one. It just doesn't compute for me. The BA crew give it an A minus, which goes to show there is no accounting for taste. You might want to accompany this one with a glass of chilled water.
The off white head flutters away with an afterthought of thin and scattered lace. Dark brown in color with dark red hues at the edges. Powerful sweet and sour fruit aroma; including prunes, ripe grapes, figs and raisins, along with burnt sugar and freshly baked brown bread and phenols. Vinous, grainy and tart to the tongue with a prolific amount of sour grapes and figs and a hammer-to-the-face vinegar character that never relents.
Not my thing at all, but that does not mean you won't like it, and certainly does not mean that I am "right", because one of the most wonderful things about exploring and talking about beer is that everybody has a different opinion and a right to express it. That right there my friends, is the arch enemy of banality.
