A blend of whiskey barrel, wine foeder, and stainless aged sour beers, Love Child No. 4 opens with an aroma of red fruit and underripe strawberries. Slightly more acidic than previous Love Child releases, this blend marries dark fruit flavors with subtle earthy notes of leather and mushroom with a lingering, acid finish that closes crisp and dry.

750ml corked bottle, 2014 vintage. Tart strawberry aroma with notes of vinous red wine, funk, cherry, whiskey, oak and vanilla. Pours cloudy caramel colored with a thin white head that has little retention and very little lacing. Starts with tart strawberry, Brett funk, cherry and vanilla flavors as well as having a lively mouthfeel. Finishes bone dry with vinous red wine, whiskey and oak flavors as well as having acidic funk lingering on the palate after each sip. Still decent, but would have liked to have tried it fresher.

Flaska, bäst före mars 2016. Röd med ett kortlivat skum. Vinös doft, bär och ek. Syrliga bär, vin , funk, kraftigt syrlighet. Lite som en flemish red.

(Bottle) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, sourish nose with balsamic vinegar, caramel, red fruit, raspberries, sour cherries, funky yeast and oak wood. Fruity, malty, tart taste with red fruit, red-currant, sour cherries, raspberries, some red wine, caramel, vinegar, rhubarb, oak wood and a dry and tart finish with slightly harsh tannins. Almost full body, mainly dry. Really tart, but very tasty with lots of funk, wood and balsamic vinegar. Excellent.

Bottle from SB from a couple of years back. Pours cloudy amber with quickly disappearing head. Tart aroma and taste of vinegar, overripe fruit, apple, red berries, lightly vinous. Perfect balance between sweet and sour with a slight bite to the sour finish. Lovely altogether.

Aroma isn’t too complex, pretty much just vinegaryeast. Flavor’s much better with fruit, spices, hint of perfume. A little alcohol warmth at the end of the Finish.

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av äpple, vinäger, jord, citron, citrus, nypon, trä, vita druvor. Torr, fina smaker, bra balans mellan sötma och syra, karaktär av vitt vin, rund och len med bra fatkaraktär. Mycket gott!
