So grateful that there is West coast distribution now. One of the best pale ales. — 7 years ago

After three unsuccessful Piemontese pulls to go with my Piemontese dish, I finally decided that the wine pairing gods were sending me a signal, so like Justice William O. Douglas, I went west, [not so] young man. And this Grenache-based blend was very nice. Nose had warm, mossy stones, warm kirsch, roasted herbs and campfire. Mouthfilling fruit on entry, but very quickly turns savory and minerally. A bit more tannic than previous vintages I’ve had of this wine. — 4 years ago
Great fall beer. Not to sweet and spiced. A very warm beer — 8 years ago
Second bottle is even better. Sour Brett character is more integrated. Tons of lime, lime zest, sea salt, tropical fruit with papaya. Just outstanding but still very sour. — 4 years ago
Wow is this easy to drink. Nose is typical chocolate, bitters, hint of spice. The palate is strikingly more complex. I get cocoa, herbs, hops. This tastes like an excellent 80% cocoa chocolate bar with just a hint of bourbon barrel. Not as much as barrel/bourbon as some. This is a sipping beer and improves with air and warmth. Part of the Ales for ALS west coast case. Will 100% buy again. — 4 years ago

Wow what an old timer wine showing beautifully right off the bat. Beautiful plummy earthy rich nose into balanced still lively palate and firm texture into a harmonious and long finish. Pleasure to drink. A surprise for a 32 year old but probably from the glory days of this vineyard and varietal? Perfect for the leftover cheese ML brought weeks ago, Formaggio’s Twin Farm Goat Tomme Goats Milk from West Cornwall VT. Half bottle downed, unusual for me. Well, after three days of DE beer (quite good) and dinners alone! — 3 years ago
