Huge french Bordeaux barrel notes, basically a dark red wine without too much tannic notes, lots of chocolate and vanilla sour notes.

Cloin's 20K @ T42. Thanks to Coleeen. Cloudy dark brown beer, no head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has decent fine carbonation. Sour and vinegary dark fruits. Lemon acid and acetic Dark Fruits. Dry lemon acid finish. Dry and pretty sour, too sharp for my taste.

Bottle shared in London on cloin's 20k - cheers! Pours hazy brown with a creamy, tan head. Loads of dried berries in the nose, sweat, leather. Medium sweet flavour strong acetic bite, salt, tart berries, aged leather. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sharply acetic finish, more aged berries, aggressive lemons. Really quite aggressive overall. Hard to take down a lot of this.
