0,375 l bottle. Pours hazy reddish brown with big, rocky, quickly and rather loudly dissipating tan head. Aroma is very fruity, woody and vinous, quite sour, a hint of funk. Taste is low sweet and bitter with a hefty dose of sourness. Body is full, texture somewhat oily. Finish is long, fruity and sour, unfortunately after fruitiness fades unpleasant slightly burning sensation remains on the tongue. Unfortunate for otherwise very good and complex beer.
