Keg at the brewery,. A Nut brown coloured pour with a lasting thin light tan head. Aroma is lacto, sour, tangy apple, wood. Flavour is composed of slightly oxidised, onion, woody, mouldy wood. Tangy apple. Palate is semi sweet, tangy, highish carbonation. Ok.

Keg at Hippo Tap Room. It pours jet black with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich roasted maltage, chocolate, rocky road, vinous, funky farmyard, brett, jammy berry, fruit compote, raspberry and cherry jam. The taste is tart and vinous upfront, raspberry, red grape skin, blackberry, cherry, plum, funky, granny smith apple, them some roast and cacao with a smooth, fruity finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Great vinous and funky berry character. Not usually a massive fan of sour stouts, but this is really works. Probably the best Northern Irish beer I have ever had.

On keg at the Bow Bar. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn crema head. Nose - balsamic, edge of chocolate too. Fermenting black fruits. Taste - blackberry, balsamic and then incredibly a sweet chocolate finish. Wood is the general back drop. And sherry oxidation. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture! There is a long dry finish but then it gets sweet on the end. And the sourness slowly returns. Overall - an anomaly, a one off. It starts sour but finishes with a sweet chocolate stout note. Ok so sourness returns. Braw! I’d be impressed if you could do that again.
