Pours very dark brown. Small white head. Smell is herbal raspberry. Basilicum? Is it really in there? Don't recognize it as such, but it could explain the herbal notes. Taste is sharp herbal, green, unripe raspberries, way to 'green' beer. Not a fan.

(Thx!) Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Dark brown, tanned head. Nose is weird spoiled vegetable malt, green, fermenting leaves ;taste is herbal, sugar, malt, spoiled, vegetable, oddly acidic, don’t seem right. Body is flat, low acidic, leaves, malt. Concept sounded interesting but this mess didn’t taste intentional.

330ml bottle from Cave a Bulles. Pours a hazy deep, dark brown, no lasting head at all. Aroma has some herbal notes, fleeting berries. Taste is quite light, tangy, a touch sour, lacking the depth and body of a standard stout. Tastes more like a dark sour really. Some light raspberry hints. Bit confused, not even sure it knows what it is.
