Aroma of sour cherries, sour apples, vinegar, oak, slight barnyard. Flavour is heavy vinegary sourness with some sweet notes. Extreme and damn tasty.

Bottle. Reddish dark brown color. Red berries, strawberry and caramel in the aroma. Sour flavor, somewhat mellowed. Banana, red berries, lemon, strawberry, caramel. Still has maturing potential.

Danish tasting session; Jan 2014
Hazy dark amber color to brown with barely any head and carbonation. The aroma is sour, with caramel, malt, nuts/hazelnuts, vinegar. The body is lean, the mouthfeel a bit oily, the carbonation very low; quite good flavor of sour malt, with a fruity, vinous, vinegary note; correct bitterness; traces of nuts in the end.
Quite good.

Amber with a white head - Sour aroma with hints of vinegar - Sour flavour that has vinegar flavours to it - The sour vinegar goes into a long finish - This was nice, but perhaps a littel to much on the vinegar side

Bottle at The Sovereign. Dark maroon color, flat. Aroma of sour prunes. Taste is very acetic, harsh mouthfeel. Painful nostalgia for the original blend, in the wee hours of the night after the Haand festival in Drammen, May 2012.
