3.8Piwo bordowe, nalewa się ze średnio-pęcherzykową pianą. W aromacie kiszonka, owoce, akcenty octowe i winne, nuta wanilii. Smak solidnie kwaśny, owocowo-winny, znowu trochę octu i kiszonki, w posmakach drewno, waniliowa słodycz i owocowa cierpkość. Nasycenie i ciało na średnim poziomie, trochę alkoholowego grzania. Nie jest to do końca moja bajka, ale piwo bogate i złożone, doceniam.

4.3W aromacie wiśnie, dębina, ogólnie dużo beczkowości. W smaku półsłodkie, delikatna taniczność. Świetny sour red ale.
4.0Bottle big thanks to BenH. It pours hazy dark reddish - brown with a small foamy beige. The aroma is rich, heady hits of red wine, oak, vanilla, jammy action, earth, cherry stone, raspberry pip, grape skin, tangy, funky and damp wood. The taste is dry, tart, good kick of acidity, grape skin, vinous, red wine, vanilla, drying oak, funk, sherbet, Granny Smith apple, berry skin, cherry cola, earth, tannin, touch of alcohol and hint of red wine vinegar with a drying and oaked finish. Medium+ body and moderate, lively carbonation. Nice depth of flavour and intense red wine character. Rather tasty stuff.
4.0Pół roku po terminie. Czerwone owoce, wiśnia, troszkę wina. Fajne, pijalne, beczkowe.
4.0Cudowny winny aromat, w tle kwasowość octu balsamicznego, suszone owoce i beczka; w smaku przyjemnie wytrawne z lekkimi nutami słodowymi i kwaskowymi; złożone i bardzo przyjemne.
4.8Wygląda bardzo ładnie, ciemno bordowe klarowne z lekką ale drobną pianą, która zmienia się w niemal niewidoczny okrąg na szkle. Zapach, ten zapach mnie rozbraja, Czuć beczkę, wino, nie no, wanilii nie ma ale jest ta beczka, która pięknie pachnie nie tak nudnie jak jakieś wytrawne wino tylko głębiej, ciekawiej, ciężej. W smaku mega wytrawność ale nie jakiś ostry kwas od którego dostaniecie sraczki i będą boleć zęby tylko kwasowość połączona z głębią, gęstością smaku i jakąś taką gładkością, co ja krytyk czy co pij to piwo a nie jakiegoś Alexandra!
4.0Draught at WFP, September 2017. Lots of dark and red fruit - cherries, plums, chokeberries, Light tart, plums in the fruity astringent finish. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Superb!

4.6Notatka ze wspomnień: niezwykłe, kwaśne ale, mocno podkreślone beczką, tanicznymi akcentami czerwonego wina, nuty jak z beczki po burbonie, wanilia, kokos. Wersja z beczki równa wersji z kranu. Świetne, unikalne piwo.

4.0Piwo lezakowane pol roku. Bardzo mocny smak czerwonego wina. I calkiem tresciwe. Ogolnie calkiem udane sour ale.
3.8Butelka przeleżakowana 6 miesięcy po dacie ważności. Barwa ciemnoczerwona, piana opada do obrączki. Po otwarciu z butelki wydobywają się nuty dzikich drożdży, po przelaniu do głosu dochodzą nuty czerwonego wytrawnego wina. W smaku również mocno wyczuwalne nuty winne oraz po lekkim ogrzaniu smak czerwonej porzeczki. Może przez leżakowanie ale jakby brakowało mu ciała.
