In 2016, Euan, Dulcie, Jonny, and Tanya brought Volcan Wolf, a Black Berliner Weisse, to market. This tart & dark yet light and refreshing brew was named after the highest peak of the Galapagos. This shield volcano was given the name Wolf in honour of the German naturalist Theodor Wolf.

Bottle from Tramlinr at home. Opaque dark dark cola brown pour with dense puffy light tan head, some sediment. Aroma is sour salty and slightly fruity - nice. Taste is more standard Berliner Weisse - tart sourness with a bit of bright fruit. Roasted malt not really present except for maybe smoothing out the tartness somewhat. Not bad but not as different as expected.

330ml can. Pours dark, thin beige head. Aroma is salty. Taste is salty, umami with some seaweed, an earthy bitterness with a light berliner tang. Nice, but a little too earthy for me.

Taste comprises tangy red berries, damp hay, light spice, tarte bramble berry, citric tang. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi drying close with a subtle puckering effect. Decent enough Linner.
