3/IX/16 - 50cl bottle @ RBBSG V (Klaas' place) - BB: n/a (2016-996) Thanks to markoijelena for sharing the bottle!

Clear reddish brown beer, small creamy off-white to beige head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet, malty, grains, caramel, cow fodder. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very sourish, lemony, pretty weird, some overripe fruits. Aftertaste: lemony, soft bitterness, dry sour, tannins, pretty acidic finish. Decent but not a big fan.

500 ml. bottle. Dark red brown, only a few tanned bubbles. Nose is fermenting red fruits & berries, fermenting cranberry, lightly sour malts & some leaves, blackcurrant. Berries are big in the taste, elderberries I suppose but I don’t know how those taste like. Taste is sour wild dark berries, blueberries, huge elderberries I suppose, lots of berries, sour wild uneatable berries in a great way, faintly fermenting blackcurrant, red wine vinous, the fruit here is massive & delicious. Body is thick syrup red wine & fermenting dark uneatable berries. Dry, grape skins, dried out red grapes. I have had the base & it didn’t do much for me but this is very lovely, the fruit really makes this beer. This is very neat.

Sampled at ’Proeflokaal De Prael’ during Sebastian Sauer’s masterclass for Carnivale Brettanomyces 2016. Hazy, dark red with an off-white head. Sourish-fruity aroma of elderberries, blackcurrant and some red grapes. Sourish, fruity taste of elderberries, blackcurrant, a touch of red grapes and some vinegar, followed by a medium long, rather tart finish. Medium body, rather astringent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

Tap at Beergeek Bar Freigeist tap takeover. Kind of blackberry aroma but the flavour turns it around. Assertively tart, lightly sour, dark berries, slight chocolate and faintest roast. Interesting fruity exbeeriment. Quite good.

Bottle. Pours a deep clear purple with a pinkish gray head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a decent amount of elderberry with a sweet smoke and a bread backbone. Flavor has an interesting combination of elderberry and sweet smoke with a bit of bread and earthiness backing.
