Bottle shared at the 5K/7.5K/10K tasting - who has a 7.5K tasting?, from an IP trade with MJ, 30/12/14. Murked up reddish amber with moderate off white spotting - touch of festival toilet water about the appearance! Nose is raspberry, straw, fruit syrup, quite rich fruit considering the age. Taste comprises blackcurrant jelly, oxidisation has set in but not OTT, fruit gum, red berry syrup. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, sweet berry and must in the close. Ok as fruit beers go and certainly considering the age.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Colin for this. Pours murky brown with a bubbly head; looks like poop water. Smells like tart fruits, a bit of meat. Light sweet flavor with old berries, wood, leather, earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly tart on the finish, some old raisins, berries, earth. Not bad in the end. Has aged interestingly.

Bottle thanks to Colin. It pours filthy, murky pond water brown with minimal head. The nose is juicy, berry, soft fruits, blackcurrant, jammy, earth, wood, candy andlight tart fruitiness. The taste is bitter, woody, jammy berry, blackcurrant, musty, damp wood, earth, light acidity with dry, earthy finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Looks pretty aweful....tastes a bit better though.

Cloudy pink brown beer, no real head. Not pretty! Dry palate. Woody dryness with mild tart blackcurrant. Mild lactose like sweetness in the undertone. Semi dry finish. A slightly odd beer - ugly as hell but with a pleasant blackcurrant that avoids being too acidic.

Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Bottled in 2005. Pours a murky chocolate color with a light rim of bubbles. Berry aroma. Rather full in body with slight carbonation. Lots of oak. Astringent. Very fruity in a sour way. A good sour ale with lots of darkish berry. I like it.

’05 vintage courtesy of markwise. Pours deep murky dark brown, close to no head. Aroma is full of cassis goodness, puree with hints of malt and caramel. Flavor is hard to describe, just plenty of goodness with every sip getting better. Thick puree like mouthful of cassis with a nice lengthy tingly palate hinting toward some sourness. Hints of caramel and malts.

This 2005 vintage beauty is courtesy of markwise. Thanks! It pours murky muddy oxidized bloody brown with really no head whatsoever. The aroma is full and rich with smooth black currents, some earthiness, chewy aged malts and faint assorted spices. The taste is nice and rich and smooth with musty cassis goodness blending seamlessly into aged viscous malts and some smooth sweetness rounding things out. Wow! Tasty stuff.
