"Cherry brown color with ok lacing even in my small sample (thanks to eaglefan438). Huge aroma of brett. The flavor was a wonderful brent of brett, sour and tart fruit and heavy wood and ash notes. Nice."

[2] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/13/2006 10:28:49 PM)
"Big thanks to Ogglethorp for this one. A huge nose of whiskey, eggnog, sour, lactic and peppery. Taste is figs, oak, whiskey, vanilla with a nice dry finish. I'd now like to get a hold of the regular La Roja to find out the differences. Perhaps I did this a bit backwards? Oh well. A great mistake."
