375ml bottle. Pours clear amber with good white head. Aroma is brett & sugar. Taste is bristly brett, nice and crisp with the most subtle of white wine influence, and slick alcohol on the finish.

Bottle from Beer Gonzo, consumed at home/village hall function, Saturday 27th June 2015 Barrel ageing works really well, it’s probably more subtle than some but still leaves it’s thumbprint. Some woody and tart flavours and a streaky yeastiness, but it’s warming, fruity and a little earthy with a grapey edge. Good. A7 A3 T8 P4 Ov14 3.6

On tap @ Henrik, Bergen. Pours dark golden with a big creamy head. Aroma is sweet hoppy apricots and white wine barrels, as well as yeast and fruity apples. Full creamy body with average carbonation. Flavour is tart with yeast, apples and fruity hops, as well as woody malts. Tart wooden finish.

Draught @ Henrik Øl og Vinstove, Bergen
Pours clear deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, yeast, wood, alcohol, oak, grape and mango. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long warm, oak, yeasty and fruity finish. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle bought @ bierkompass.de. Pours tiny hazy amber with a big frothy offwhite head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of thick sticky lacing on the glass. Smell is fruity and tiny funky with biscuits, leather, heavy chardonnay wine, moist wood, barnyard, hay, dry soil, overripe lemons, plums, white raisins, lemon zest and hints of rubber. Taste is slightly sweet, slightly bitter, phenolic and funky with biscuits, sweet dark bread, white raisins, leather, hay, chardonnay wine, moist wood, kumquats, rubber, apple skins, pear skins, orange zest, lemon zest, barnyard and alcohol. Mouthfeel is tiny dry, tiny tart, tannic astringent, tiny boozy and medium bodied. Finish is tiny sour, slightly bitter, phenolic and tiny funky with biscuits, dark bread, raisins, plums, hay, dry soil, barnyard, leather, rubber, alcohol, orange zest and lemon zest. Barleywine-esque biscuit raisin saison... Not what I was hoping for...

On tap at Henriks. It’s a lightly hazy one, golden in color and with a dense, finger thick light beige head leaving curtains. Lots of oak and grapefruit on the nose, mango and some white sugar. Bitter and dry on the palate, with a decent carbonation. Vinous and citrusy flavor with lots of grapefruit. Bitter finish with grapefruit zest and some pineapple. Quite nice this one, but sort of weird. Can’t really decide if I like it. 140615
