Tart and vinous, oaky and reminds me of a flanders, for sure with the acidity.

Bottle shared with the KL Tasting Crew. Poured a clear reddish brown colour with a short-lived fizzy, round, off-white head. The aroma is malt, molasses, sour red berry fruits. The flavour is moderate to strong sour, with a crisp, super tart, red berry fruit, light spicy palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Nice, but only in small volumes. Lacks balance and way too sour.

Tap at the brewery. Deep red with lace. Woody vinegar nose. flavors of chocolate, cherry, vinegar and wood. Decent but too acetic.

650ml bottle. Sour, funky and vinegary with some oak, berries, bretta and hints of dark cherries. Funky and sour, pretty good. Reminds me of Belgian sour browns.
