330ml bottle (2012) from the brewery. Saved for a special occasion. And that occasion was me running low on beer. Hugely complex sour with all sorts of murky oaky red wine flavours getting a nose in. Powerful, exceptional sour.

2005 Vintage at Kulminator. Served in Oerbier Glass at cellar temparture.
A - It’s black in the bulb tulip but edges are dark brown and almost translucent.
S - The aroma is amazing. Loads of dark fruits, plum, fig, raisin and burnt sugar. I smell a little bit of apple.
T - Taste Is unreal. Oak, sugar, pears and apples with blueberry and Brett funk. The sugar is caramelized and taste is unreal. 13% ABV and you don’t even taste it.
M - Oily mouthfeel but fills the mouth with some carb.
O - Simply a remarkable beer! It’s incredible.

2008: 330ml bottle given to Mat and me by Fin. We in turn, we split it with three other members of the Shrewsbury Bottle Exchange Group on 12th Jan 2015. Ruby red/brown colour with an off white head. Malty, fruity and sour with a mini wine hint in the taste. Just a little to acidic for my palate but all the other four thought it a fantastic beer.

Dark brown color with a light beige head with medium retention and mild lacing. Aroma has notes of redfruits, wine barrels and wood. Flavor is sourish, very fruity, red and wine mouthfeel. Sour and bittery final with red wine mouthfeel on palate

330ml bottle, v2005, shared at the Local Pub, Athens, courtesy of Spiros. Dark red brown color with small beige head. Aroma is malty and tart yeasty, dark fruits, caramel, wood and brandy-like alcohol. Taste is sweet (sugary) and light sour like the aroma. Light to medium body, oily, soft carbonation and dry finish.
