In it's early beginnings this was merely an imperial stout. But since then it has taken a few turns, starting with it's ageing in a bourbon barrel. An addition of cocoa nibs came after that, but what made us list it under wild ale was the inclusion of Brett and bacteria during the maturation.

You can expect to notice the base style, except for the alcohol. Complemented with some vanilla from the barrel, as well as chocolate notes from the cocoa nibs. And of course, the funk part was contributed by the microbiology department in the form of some sourness, hay, and fruity notes.

0.33l bottle from Beer Shop Pomalo. Aroma is funky, vinous, yeasty, caramelly and overripe fruity with barnyard note. Pours cloudy dark brown color without any head, just with a thin light brown rim. Taste starts tart funky vinous and medium sweet toasted malty with cocoa note, following is fruity, nutty, woody and ashy, mouthfeel is smooth and warm alcoholic, while finish is medium bitter. Medium body, syrupy texture and flat carbonation in palate. No fear of the funk…

0.33 l bottle, courtesy of Marko. Shared with Ogi and him. Dark brown to black, small head. Good balance between roasty and funky aromas, also lots of dried fruits and nuts. Dark cherry, blackberry. Licorice. Glue appears. Soft to moderate sourness, slightly harsh, quite roasty. Very dry. Slightly metallic. Some caramel. Slightly astringent in the finish. Liked it actually.
