Bottle at birreria volo. Pours a dark brown, with a medium beige head. This is by far one of thenmost complex aromas in a beer ive ever enjoyed. The sourness hits you hard up front. Notes of lactic sourness, and hints of vinegar. The blueberry is surprisingly present and up front, juicy, and sweet. The barrel is earthy, and adds a lovely semi sweet whiskey, and earthy barrelmwith light vanilla, and then there is a slight maple syrup aroma lingering innthe back. The mouth feel is full andnthe carb is quite effervescent. The finish is a perfect balance of sweet blueberry and earthy, woody barrel and bourbon, with maple soaked blueberry pancakes, and the sourness kicks you innthe throat! This is incredible sour, but what baffled my mind is all these things work together in incredible harmony. I can pick them all out, individially and they all work together. Wow!

(On tap @ MBCC 2017 Yellow Session, Copenhagen) Pours somewhere between cola and black. Notes of wood, earth, tart dark fruit, touch of blueberry obvious, lactic souring plus light to moderate acetic acid, toast, yeast with light to moderate barnyard funk, no real whiskey, hints of vanilla, tannic vinous/berry skin finish, persistent sour notes. Medium bodied, light carbonation. Not bad but probably not the best variant of this, I felt like the blueberries didn't add so much to the base.

Flaska från Beergium. Crooked Stave-provning med Lilja och Samuel214. Mörkbrun, nästan svart med moccabrun krona. Doft av mörka bär, blåbär, körsbärskärnor, whisky, fat, kola, mörk vinäger, viol, salmiak, anis och nästan en lite rökig touch. Fin bitande syra i smaken med mycket mörk vinäger, röda bär, röda vinbär och körsbärskärnor. Även mycket fat, whisky och kolaremmar. Inte jättemycket blåbär direkt, känns mer som bäriga toner överlag. Riktigt gott hur som!
