Bottle sampled at RBSG. From notes. Dark fermented fruits, vanilla, raisins and a little funky brett. Very good.

Thx! to Kraddel for sharing this one @ ‘The Adam Jackson Tasting’. 75 cl. bottle sampled & drank from the bottle. Cool, green Baphomet label with glitter(?) green waxing. Pours a darkish brown with a lightly tanned head, only on the sides. Smell is sour chocolate, sour wine bacteria interacting, sour cherries & typical USA brett profile all the way, young wine. Tastes of sour tannic wine, sour chocolate, USA brett all the way, touch lacto, earthly, sour cherries and pits, leather, touch malts, bitter tannins in the back, overripe red grapes. Oddly full like the USA sours tend to be, usual profile. Drinks pretty well out of the bottle, haven’t had to many dark sours yet, style doesn’t seem to be working entirely, this was still quite lovely.

Enjoyed in small taster at room temp.
A - Dark brown, minimal 1 finger head that fades fast
S - Cherries, flanders red aroma, oak and oranges.
T - Very oaky, slightly sweet, hint of funk and a nice tart finish. Cherries are throughout but not getting the "wine barrel" aspect noted on the label
M - Light body, dry and sweet with light carbonation
O - Decent sour but not something I’d seek out. Certainly not going to seek out Pentagram now.

25/II/13 - 1Pt. 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ home - BB: n/a (2013-192) Thanks to Kraddel for sharing the bottle!
Clear purple to dark red brown beer, small beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very zour, earthy, leather, tobacco, rotten leafs, bit dry. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sour, lemony, earthy, leather, rotten fruits, quite some bitter tannins, grape skin. Aftertaste: some vinegar, bit fruity, sour red berries, bitter, rotten fruits, red wine. Bleh. If I want bitter tannins puckering my mouth, I'll drink a cheap young red wine instead, thank you...

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. This beer is a dark brown color with ruby highlights and a medium light beige head. Partial ring of lacing. Aroma of funky fruits and oak. Medium body with flavors of tart fruit, yeast and malt. The finish is vinous and fruity. Good overall.

Bottle, 22oz, at RBNAG-11. As Surly Five. Under a small, off-white head is an unclear, reddish brown body. Berries, some roasted malts as well as vinegar and dried fruits in the aroma. The flavor is lightly roasted, tart and vinegarish, and with a solid dose of dried fruits. Full bodied and nicely carbonated, quite tart. A bit short in the finish. The aroma of this one was rather boring, but the flavor was wonderful, and that’s of course the most important part. Maybe a bit heavy on the vinegar, but still a lovely beer. 111015

Bottle shared at my 30:th birthday tasting on May 5 (30 år av Surt). Courtesy of Marsiblursi. Pours very dark reddish brown with a rather small creamy brown head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace. Smell is sweet, sour and tiny metallic with vinegar, burnt sugar, ripe dark grapes, cherries, prunes, lemon juice, lemon zest, wood and brett. Taste is tiny sweet, sour and very tiny metallic with sour cherries, green grapes, lemon juice, lemon zest, wood, brett and hints of roasted malts. Mouthfeel is tart, slightly dry and medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and sour with vinegar, dark grapes, wood and sour cherries. Balanced and not too extreme.

Bottle at "30 år av surt", on May 5, 2012 in Göteborg. Brune foncée, col léger crémeux beige. Arôme est malté, vin rouge, brett le tout sur un bouquet malté/choco. EN bouche, malt aigre barrique de vin et un brett bien en avant Pointe épicée venant peut-être du boisé de barrique, palais laisse un fin picotement, le tout étant fruité. Le vin rouge est vraiment bien utilisé et confère une dimension parfaite au palais.
