Bottle: Poured a deep amber color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with limited retention and not much lacing. Aroma of tart notes with light acidic notes and some vinous and herbal notes with light caramelized notes also perceptible. Taste is a mix of herbal notes with light caramelized notes, some vinous notes with some oak presence and light acidity noticeable in the aftertaste. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable beer with nice complex mix of flavours.

50cl bottle from CBC Waterbury, pours a hazy sepia, basically no head.  Looks like iced tea.  Mint is huge on the nose, black tea, lemon, salsify.  Nose is wild, smells like no beer you've had.  Flavor has some malt, some soggy bread, a little mushroom, but there's a nice a medicinal/herbal note running all the way through.  Neutral barrel, but band aid is there now, no funk though, mint, basil seed, potpourri.  Tastes a bit like kombucha, some maybe some ginger notes.  Incredibly unique.  8 2 8 4 14
