Can from the brewery, 256/350
Black colour. Black colour. Weird aroma, "brett" almost minty. Highly carbonated, rather dry for the style, roasted malts, some chocolate, alcohol, touch of vanilla (the bourbon?), I can't find the hazelnuts.
Not totally undrinkable, but wrong.

473mL can, pours black with a medium brown head. Aroma brings out burnt rubber, a little bit of toasted nuts, and cocoa. Flavour is full of cocoa nibs upfront, with toasted nuts, and burnt coffee. Infected, but not intolerable.

Tall can at Erik's. Appearance: dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: some Brett, roasted malt, some fruity notes. Taste: very carbonated, aggressive, harsh, some hazelnut, butter scotch, some bourbon. Overall: sorry, but this is an INFECTED beer and it should NOT go to the public.

Soured barrel notes and some fruity sweetness. Jet brown with a decent light brown head. Woody light sourness and some buttery notes.
