Location: Cask at Rattle 'N' Hum, 9/13/09
Part of the Gotham Cask Festival

Aroma: Some sour grapes, fruit, yeast, spice, wood, earth, citrus, quite a complex nose
Appearance: Nice reddish-brown color, a bit of clarity to it,
Flavor: A nice mix of flavors, similar to the nose, a bit of alcohol taste as well
Palate: Nice body, but quite a bit (maybe too much) alcohol burn
Overall Impression: First thing I have tried from Saint Somewhere, and this one will have me going back for more. I thought this beer was really nice and I hope to get a chance at more beers from these guys in the near future. This beer turned out to be quite nice, and I would imagine that the cask format really helped elevate the wonderful nose to the point it reached.
