Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Dark Ale aged in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels from local wineries. It is aged for 4 to 8 months with black currants, brettanomyces, lactobacillus, and pediococcus added to each barrel. Rich flavors of chocolate truffle, spice, tobacco, currants, and a bit of Cabernet. Very full-bodied, sip slowly!

Profoundly complex after a couple years of aging. The essence of currants, and a whole lotta wood, pronounced but not overwhelming tartness. This is shoe leather and antique furniture and crystal stemware. A monocle may be involved.
unknown release
Just as sour as Temptation, but definitely more fruity in character. Cherry and wood, with maybe a touch of chocolate. There's less complexity in this beer, and the finish is a bit one-note and less memorable. Overall, I liked this less than the other sour.
Lot 1 Batch 1 release
Aged 10 years (!). Yeasty. Sour. Subtle tobacco flavor. Finishes heavy. Yet clean.
