(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 9 June 2024) Black colour with hints of ruby. Brief beige head. Fruity, malty nose with oak wood, balsamic vinegar, red wine and dark chocolate. Fruity, tart taste with notes of coffee, chocolate, oak wood, red wine, sour cherries, funky yeast and a dry and tart finish with low bitterness. Almost full body, dry. Tart, woody, fruity and roasty. Complex and really tasty. Very nice.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from BS online. Pours mostly clear deep brown with a tight, frothy khaki head. Light to medium sweet flavour, a little funky, some cocoa, roast, berries, ash, cellar, musty wood, earth. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming finish, subtle roast, red wine, barrel funk, berries, cobwebs. Great stuff overall. Nice depth and highly drinkable for the strength.

Tap @ Borefts 2014. Almost blonde. Hints of roast, lemon and brett in the aroma. Soft roasty salty flavor with a soft melony sourness and soft bretty notes. Nice!

Flaske fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Langnes. Delt med EgilB på Lillehøgda. Svart. Medium høyt skum med litt farge. Daler passe fort. Eikearoma. Smaken treaktig. Mye eik. Bra - men lite variasjon.
