208 bottle thanks to Kenny. It pours darkest brown to black with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet - sour, tangy, minerality, lactic, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, grape, plum, date, prune, coffee grains, red wine, fizzy cherry candy and tangfastics. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, tangy, zingy, sherbet, sour candy, tangfastics, dried fruits, acetobacter balsamic vinegar, strawberry, minerality, chalky, punchy acidity, dry oak and tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. A bit sharp perhaps. Fair.

Bottle at home in Hackney - think I may have been given this by GT! Pours clear, deep brown with a creamy, tan head. Lightly sweet with ample leathery, aged dark fruits, soft acidity, toasted bread, raisins, prunes, restrained funk, some old wood. Light to medium bodied with delicate carbonation. Lightly warming finish, fairly drying, a little more burnt wood, tangy dark fruits, berries, nips of cellar funk. Quite drinkable. Good depth.

Bottle. Poured a dark cola color with a relatively small off-white, light tan head. Aroma was light tartness, cherry, with some roasted malts. Flavor was pleasant dark malts, light toasted nots, grape, pleasant.

375 ml bottle from my March, 2013 trade with TheEpeeist, guess it’s time to imbibe. Nose is lightly tart with a hint of Brett, slightly tart red wine, musty oak, a a hint of balsamic vinegar. Opaque black with a medium, lightly lacing, tan head. Flavor is silky smooth, contrasting light sweetness, tartness, and funkiness with a background of woodiness, and a super dry Cabernet. Extremely tasty after 9 years in my cellar.

Bottle at BBT 2/2022. Med-thin body, medium carbonation. Lots of dark fruity character, also wine. Lots of funk, working well together with the fruitiness. Moderately woody. Mostly sour, nice med-high intensity of complex sour character. Very good.
