I Draught /I Bit disparate greyish white head over jet-black beer. Nice woody, lactic acid touch, hints @ red fruit and liquorice. More of the same in the mouth, but tastewise just a slightly bit empty in body. Fruity notes haven't followed either, but the lactic acid and wood are there, just a hint of chocolate. Light body, not much carbonation, bit slick, wood-dry. Despite the criticism, I rather like this! Maybe a soupçon of chocolate malts might have helped?

3 February 2019. At Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke & Pieter! Hazy brown-red with a lasting, thin, frothy, tan head; little lacing. Aroma of sour cherry, wood, vinegar, vanilla, custard even, raisin, soggy brown bread, salted ham ('prosciutto crudo'!), red grape. Taste is light malty sweet, toffee, nuts & caramel, quickly making way for a medium fruity sourness, cherry, grape & plum with a vinegar-like, almost (wild) lactic edge, whilst bitter woody tannins peep through; faint salty licorice in the back. Dryish, tart finish, a bit herbal hoppy, lingering dark fruit, vinegar & wood. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Nice surprise, very smooth still for a Sour Ale, I like that faint maltiness underneath a firm woody character.

Oak, mouldy tartness, subtle cherries. Underwhelming. 3.4
