Bottle shared at the Columbus tasting, 25/07/2018. Many thanks. A clear nut brown coloured pour with no head. Aroma is earthy sour, roast, airy brett. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, earthy roast, light liquoirice, bitter black berries and chocolate. Palate is semi sweet, mellow sour, airy lowish carbonation. Funky farmyard sour lingering.

Bottle split at L6, thanks to Scopey, 25/07/18. Black with a decent tan cap. Nose is tangy dark fruits, spice, herbal notes, light acidic nostril tickle, dried berry skins. Taste comprises sharp fruit esters, trace of root liquorice, herbals, light brett, spice, funk, fruit balsams. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with moderate acidity. Ok.

Bottle shared in London - cheers! Pours deep brown with a small, creamy tan head. Ashy nose, old leather. Light sweet flavour, tangy, earthy, dry. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Dry finish, bitter ash, wood, leather. So so overall.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Paul. Almost opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Palate is smooth with reasonable fine carbonation. Sourish dark malts, sourish dark fruits. Bitterish wood. Bitterish finish. Mildly amusing.

Bottle shared at DS. It pours dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma earthy roast, umami, tangy, dark fruits, fruit cake, musty, funky, brett and rocky road. The taste is dry, tart, tangy, earthy roast, ashy, umami, vinous, liquorice, lactic, musty, funky, burnt toast and tar with an umami-led finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. A bit unbalanced. Charred, umami and burnt funk.

'Wild black ale' from this modern craft brewer in Ripley, basically a stout of mixed fermentation, thanks to Craftmember for sharing at In De Wildeman in Amsterdam. Loose and thin, open, pale yellowish beige ring of a 'head' on a blackish beer with hazy, deep mahogany-chestnut brown hue. Aroma of strong 'drop' (liquorice candy) and salmiak, sherry vinegar, blackcurrant jam, elderberry leaves, very old red wine, ink, damp wood, plum peel, shoe polish. Sourish onset with subdued sweetish core, unripe plum, blackberries and elderberries, bit wry, softly carbonated (near flat, actually), smooth and resinous mouthfeel; hard caramel-like maltiness, bitter chocolate note, toasty bitterness accentuated by wry tannins and the sourness, liquorice and cassis aspects in the finish, late earthy hop and coffee grounds bitterness; lingering sherry vinegar tartness with solventy notes, bit ink-like. Weird concoction, sour stouts can turn out very good in many cases (even if rarely made) but this one seems to contain too many harshly clashing flavours to work well, a problem I encountered in more of these LandLocked sours. Not my cup of tea.
