Sinners Blend 2009

Pours opaque with an inch of dark tan foam that is tightly packed in spite of the medium sized bubbles inter mingling. Retention is dead on while lacing is micro-dots and sporadic. Aroma seems to have cherries up front. More inspection shows tartness, earthy darkness, wood, spice, and even a touch of vinegar. Taste is a combination of cherry tartness that builds throughout and lingering late in the back of the mouth. Earth and wood add elements of complexity while a spice flavor tricks the mouth and adds the finish. Vinegar and sherry can be heavy at times. No carbonation here at all that detracts from the mouth making it medium. A nice beer but there was something in the middle of the taste I can't explain that took away from the over good tasting experience. An interesting beer but just slightly too much vinegar for me. Enjoy!
