At ACBF, poured by mr. Sprints himself. I have been reading about this for a while so curious to taste it. Pale beige, bubbly, loose, quickly disappearing head, warm dark bronze colour with mahogany brown hue, hazy. Strong aroma of sour cherries, wet oak wood, sweet sherry, dried plum, wet leather, vanilla, horse steak. Sweet candied fig in the mouth paired with sour blackberry and indeed sour cherry tartness contrasting with the sweetness, dried meat-like umami accent, bit leathery, slick and rather viscous, full mouthfeel, thick toffeeish malt body with the meaty umami, sour fruits and residual sweetness all playing on top of it, quite a lot of brown rum-like alcohol in the end, long and dry but nothing too astringent, lingering fruit tartness and dryness of woody tannins. Impressive top-fermented fruit beer of great complexity.

Bottle kindly shared by pilsnertest. Pours dark reddish brown. Completely still. Big aroma and taste with sugar syrup, dark fruit, prunes, toasted oak, cherry. Oily texture with a slight hit of booze. Magnificent.

Bottle share. Dark, flat pour. Big boozy aroma. Taste comes in big, cherries, malty, sweet. Doesn’t taste boozy, but sneaks up on you. Near perfect. 2012 sampled.

355 ml bottle at home. Dark brown almost black color with no head. Malty aroma, chocolate, dark dried fruits, caramel, wood, smoked notes, sherry notes. Sweet and light bitter taste like aroma but better. Almost medium oily body with flat carbonation
