37,5 cl bottle @ home
Aroma is somewhat tart and vinous with red wine and woody tones. Flavour has red wine, vinegar, woody tones, some ripe fruits, tartish cherries and berry juice. Feels a bit thin and watery for this ABV. This has something in common with HOTD/Deschutes Collage. I would not recognize this as abt/quad.

375ml bottle

Pours dark reddish brown with a small head. Aroma of tart berries, vinous notes, wood, oak, plums, ripe fruits and loads of malts. Taste is smooth, warming, sweetish and woody with plums, ripe fruits, bretta, vinous notes and funky yeastiness. Finish is funky, sweetish and syrupy with notes of bretta, red wine, oak, tartness and ripe fruits. Quite nice and complex. I’d categorize this as a sour red/brown instead of abt/quadrupel though.

0.375l bottle brought home from 2d2dspuma. Gusher alert! It's most definitely cloudy this, near what can be described as murky. Not just brown in color, it's also slightly reddish/rusty and it has a small at first foamy, eventually islandy beige head on the top. It has so many nuances of different things on the nose this. Mainly it's tart woody with a little vinegar hint but it's also build up by lots of different types of sweet and tart fruits. Superbly complex! There's dark dates, prunes, lots of salty Linton berries and black currants. I get malt vinegar and white whine grapes. Chocolate is also detected here, the dark and really dry kind. Yeah, a superbly complex nose indeed and I really like it. It's way to aggressive on the carbonation this! Definitely over carbonated and it has a shockingly thin and near watery feeling in the mouth. That's a bit of a downer. The taste is quite nice though. Definitely not your average whatever this is. A quad? Well.. Tastes slightly infected, lots of sour white currants and slightly sharp white vine vinegar. It's really tasty though. Red salty and tart Linton berries, lots of slightly mouthdrying wood. Traces of cocoa and chocolate wrapper in the finish. Lots and lots of flavor. The abv is quite elegantly masked, even if it feels surprisingly light in the mouth. Yeah, I quite enjoyed this strange but really complex creation. 13.09.2014
