Bottle. Surprisingly clear dark amber color with no head. Aroma is chocolate, cherry, nice vineous funk. Taste is dry, but not too dry, good fruits. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation, nice!

Tastes funk, oak, spices, bit rubbery, tobacco, spices, herbal, some lime. Finishes dry and light to medium sour with notes of lime, oak and herbs.

19 June 2025. At Hal 16 (Dok Brewing). Cheers to the Teamleader crew!

Hazy dark brown, thin, tan head. Aroma of damp attic, malt vinegar, raw steak, old chocolate, overripe brambleberry, passion fruit, leather. Taste has sour plum, nectarine & blackcurrant in a soft chocolatey & caramelly malt body, quickly turning towards funky malt vinegar & leather before the acidic finish kicks in, offering woody tannins, nectarine & cherry pit and more vinegar. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Lovely fruity & funky stuff.

(Draft at Gollem Craft Beers, Amsterdam, 22 Feb 2025) Reddish brown colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with red berries, oak wood, balsamic vinegar and raspberries. Fruity, malty, tart taste with notes of oak wood, red berries, vinegar, raspberries and sour cherries. Low bitterness. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well made, with a fresh woody acidity. Very nice.
