Bottle at share courtesy of Chris: pours dark brown with no head. Aroma is pickles, berries, vinegar, some wood. Taste is really sour, super vinegary. Light dark ale sort of thing. Not great.

Bottle, at bottle share, thanks to Chris. Pours black. Toast, chocolate, cherry, white wine vinegar, very sharp, something . Medium body. Not great.

Smells like an Italian sandwich, nice sweet funky elderberries and aronia upfront.
