Poured out a gorgeous darkish amber with a little copper hue, under a small foamy off-beige head. Interesting nose of red wine must and red grapes with some sharp oak and burned char with a backing of caramalts and lovely amber lager biscuitiness. Swell flavor of amber malts and crystal biscuit tones with a nice red wine back note and some oak and char, but not too much char, and the oak note isn’t too sharp. Very pleasant and chewy and sweet and balanced. Nuanced and complex. Very well done.

Swing-top bomber. Clear reddish amber with a frothy beige head that lasts on the sides. Aromas of earthy must, caramel, spice, citrus, orange and wood. Flavor is caramel, spice, tart citrus, orange, wood, and light barnyard funk. Medium bodied, smooth with a dry finish.

Ugh. A muddled mess of a beer. Aroma was pretty good. Vinous and vinegary with a slightly malty note. Pour was a nice enough cloudy light orange with nu bubbles or head. Taste was awful First drainpour of the year. Sour, but not in a good way. Heavy on the wine and wood flavors and not a hint of carbonation (swing top lock not sealed maybe?). Without any carbonation and the sour and wood flavors not letting anything through, I could only take a few sips before dumping. In all fairness, though, some carbonation would take this beer a long way and would probably rate a lot higher if it wasn’t flat.

Bottle @ Richard’s Tasting. Amber pour with a big white head. Not surprisingly, this is sour and crappy. Vinegar, lemon, and sweet tarts. Some peach, sweet bread, oak, and caramel. Sweet and sour taste. Lots of sweet tarts, lemon, and white vinegar. A bit of of sweet malt, caramel, cheap wine, and tannic oak. This is not good.

750ml swingtop bottle #181\1200. Vinous, tart aroma with some fruit and caramel. Pours clear amber colored with a thin white head and no lacing. Caramel malt and some fruit to begin with. Finishes tart with red wine notes that linger on the palate. Nice take on an amber ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

750 ml swing top bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of red wine, oak, caramel and fruttiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of oak caramel and light red wine with a smooth dry lingering oak finish.

Brouwerij (957) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - SEP 15, 2013
Bottle 35. Pours a hazy dark copper with rapidly setting khaki head, Minimal lacing. Aroma is oaky, vinous, tart. Flavor is mild to moderately tart, oaky, vinous, rose, and a fruity, tart finish. Rather tart and heavily vinous, essentially a sour/wild ale, retaining no character of the base beer, which is something I have come to expect from Paradox. All of the ingredients listed are hidden behind the sour and wine character. As a sour or wild ale it is alright, somewhat rough and dominated by the barrel. Certainly one dimensional. An alright beer, a heavily vinous wild ale.
