0.75 litre bottle shared on 17th Feb 2015. Bottled on 29 Aug 2014, BBD 29 Aug 2020. Sour with a vinegar feel, not for me, I am no brett fan. Deep, dark brown body with a thin off-white head. A sour puss of a beer with a herbal twist and although everyone else (the other four) liked it I stood my ground and said what it really tasted like.

Bouteille 75cl, BB 29/08/2026, bottled 29/08/2014. Premier aspect décevant étant donné que la bière était passée au delà du bouchon pour être entre ce dernier et la capsule, donc un problème d’étanchéité. Je craignais l’infection mais la bière s’est avérée en bonne condition. Brune foncée, col épais moka retombant assez vite. Arôme donne de suite un caractère typique de brett accompagné de malts grillées, caramel et d’un léger fruité noir. Le tout restant assez rustique. Palais garde de part son côté rustique ce rappel de saison belge mais compensé par des malts anglais qui ajoutent un profil sec et terreux prolongés par un généreux côté chocolaté. Le boisé de Chianti est quais imperceptible dont seul le brett reste présent. Le tout présente un petit côté cendré avec une douceur modérée de lactose. Sur la fin, le côté vin ressort plus avec une bière arrivant à t° de pièce.

750ml bottle shared @La Tana (thanks Gianluca!). Dark Brown with a medium off-white head. Nose is vinous, roasted malts, earthy, some sourness, red fruits, lacto. Flavour is medium sweet then a bit sourish, well balanced and refined, nice! Medium body, low carbonation. A very good and original beer.

Keg at Borefts beer festival day 1 26/09/2014. Opaque dark caramel coloured pour with a lasting off white head. Aroma is sour milk, tart fruit, apricot, sour. Flavour is composed of cinammon, weed, plastic phenol, woody funk and dry rot. Palate is semi sweet, highish carbonation, some woody tannin. Bit of a weird beer.

On tap at the Pelt Trader, Cannon Street. Dark brown pour with a slowly departing whisper of a white head. Aromas of licorice and blackcurrant. Quite a medicinal flavour with blackcurrant, aniseed and licorice featuring heavily. Intriguing brew.
