Bottle. It pours a small, off-white to light beige head over a more or less clear body. Amber in color. The aroma has a lightly sourish touch, with caramel, maltyness, dark sugars, vinegar kicks in after a while, and there’s also a touch of spices. Cardamom I think. Flavorwise it’s much the same, quite vinegar-ish and fruity with some spicyness. Dark berries, a faint note of metal and some caramel maltyness. Full-bodied and warming, tart and more or less dry. Fruity, berryish finish. Maybe a bit on the vinegarish side this one, but I like it. 120324

Bottled. A murky brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of sour berries and wine. The flavor is sweet and acicid with notes of over ripe fruits, wood, and berries, leading to a tart finish. Me like.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours a cloudy - almost muddy - orangey brown with a small off-white head. Extremely delicious aroma of overipe fruit and wood. Medium body, caramel, intense fruit accents - dried fruit and overripe fruit. Lots of wood and a tart but not that sour finish. Really yummy. 100709

On tap at Stone Sourfest. Rating number 2200 for me! Pours with a large tan head over a brown body. Great lace. Aroma of dark cherry, barrel, red wine, caramel, lactose and plum. Taste caramel, toffee, wine, light herbs de provence, vinegar, berries, and dates. Medium carbonation silk mouthfeel. Excellent!

Several samples at the RBSG Beer Dinner! Nose of blackberries, red wine, light funkiness mixed with moderate tartness. Murky brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is tart yet sweet, berries, yeasty grain, and an oaky red wine finish! Excellent!
