375mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark burgundy with a small beige head. Aroma brings out complex raspberries and cherries, along with oak, sourness, and wood. Flavour is really nice, with loads of raspberries, followed by cherries, intense sourness, and oak. Highly complex, very tart, wild, and oaky. Wonderful stuff.

Mega Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Cloudy red - brown beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is crispy. Light malt base, a little cream. Sharp raspberries. Worcester sauce sourness, turning acetic. Light finish. Again quite tasty but too acidic to be really quaffable

Bottle, generously shared by Kenny at the BIG Friday tasting. It pours cloudy deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is wood, earth, plenty of juicy fruits, jam, barnyard, funk and a hint of blue cheese. The taste is crisp, tart, juicy berry...cherry, rasberry, some vinegar, tangy sherbet, wood, some alcohol and acidic notes with a dry, tart finish. Some heat on the finish. Medium+ body and fine, prickly carbonation. Big, bold and fruity, yet well-balanced. Brilliant.
