Bottle at Craig’s. Pours dark red-brown, no real head to speak of. Big funky fruit aromas, blackberries on the turn, wood. Taste is fruity, sour, hides the strength. Nice.

Bottle pours with an amber colored body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up some dark roasted malts, funky bigness that has an edge of fungus blue cheese, bad feet and vinegar. The taste starts with malt sweetness, some malty sweet soft vinegar and then a fruity apricot note. Not bad and I can’t see how this is any higher than say 7% ABV. Alcohol very well hidden, wow.

Bottle thanks to Matt. Pours a cloudy amber with thin off white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is a strong oak, raisin, and booze. Medium mouthfeel with cherry skin, raisin, and boozy finish. Good

Courtesy and thanks to digita7693 , LoPo87 and Sam. 375 ml. bottle sampled. 2nd batch, first batch bottled. Red hued touch murky brown, little mocha head. Smells of paint thinner and chocolate cherries, touch red wine and dark malts plus chocolate. Tastes of sweet chocolate upfront, going mildly sour, chocolate cherries, paint thinner, red wine, chocolate cake, oak, mellow funk, full bodied, touch lower carbonation. Quite enjoyable, tastes a bit like something that Mikkeller would release to me.
