Bottle shared at Chris and Ruth Pre-GBBF 2017 tasting - London. Cheers! Pours brown with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds roast, some dried berries. Medium sweet flavour, funky, some cocoa, old leathery berries, earth. Medium bodied with average, lively carbonation. Subtle warmth in the finish, scorched earth, more old dark fruits, berries, funk. Not bad overall.

The great pre GBBF bottleshare at ChrisO’s. Opaque dark brown beer, bubbly pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable carbonation. Mellow dark chocolate. Light but savoury brett. Modest dark fruits. Smooth dry finish. Fairly bitter dark malt linger. Curious but all right.

Bottle shared at Chriso’s and Ruth pre GBBF shindig, August 5, 2017. Dark hazy brown pour. Brett nose, nice sour thing going on. Blackberries. Taste is a bit boozy, bjtterish and dry. Rye spice there and also berry cocoa chocolate dry linger in the finsh. Smooth dark sour, I like them for some reason.
