Surprisingly funky style. Just thought this was gonna be a woody barleywine, but got a fun twist to the beer story. Mmmm, good!

Didn't read the description before drinking and wasn't expecting a sour. Wakes up the taste buds.

Sorry, but no. A bad combination. The souring of this completely ruins the underlying beer. I like sours and wild ales, but this was sadly undrikable. Glad I got one of these.

I want to think it wasn't supposed to be this sour, maybe stored it too long or too warm but just seems a bit off.

Interesting to say this least. Tasted like a red wine aged in oak with a slight twang. Light cherry and cedar notes with a funky tartness.
