Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass deep black, small head. Sourish-strong aroma. Starts strong, intense sourish and fruity like berries. More and more malty, woody-earthy, more balanced than the beginning. Warming finish. Very interesting beer!

12.7 oz bottle on Jan 31, 2011, thanks to sebletitje!Very dark brown color, no head. Acidic to very sour scent, some hints of vanilla oak in the back. Acidic, sour, tart taste. Warming alcohol. Medium mouthfeel, very low bitternes.I appreciate the tasting Sev, but damn these sours keep convincing me it’s really not my style. And to those that might think "then don’t rate it" I’ll just answer "why not, it’s still a rating and an experience, right?"

Bottle thanks to Sebastian and shared with others. Poured near black with a nice ruby hue and barely any head that dissipated nearly immediately. Aroma was full of sour grapes with backing dark grains (slight roast) and some underlying red wine and oak as well. Flavor was similar with sour red grapes throughout with hints of dark chocolate and oak. The finish was nice and dry with a wine note.

Tasting at Papsø
The color is almost black; the head is very small, just sparse bubbles. The aroma is sourish, with roasted malt, chocolate, light vinegar, woody. Good body, caramel, dark caramel and chocolate flavor, with wood sourness and evident alcohol perception, although not disturbing; the texture is quite oily; the final has some nuts too, a bit short. A good beer, but not as much as the ’08 tasted last week.
