Bottle picked up ages ago from an unknown location. It pours murky purple - brown with limited bubbly head. The aroma is musty, vinous, sherry almost, funky, dusty basement, sweaty, earthy, tangy berry and some jamminess. The taste is dry, tart, musty, puckering, berry skin, tray bramble, funky, jammy, loads of brett action, wet hay, toothy, lactic, berry vinous, warming booze, wihh a drying berry skin finish. Medium body and limited carbonation. Interesting funky and tart flavour profile, with depth. Let down a bit by appearance and condition, but fun anyhow.

Bottle from beerhive. Nose is intense berries, currant, Brett, lacto, Joghurt. Palate is fruity, but not as intense as I like it, a bit harsh Lacto in the finish. Berry sours are my favourite thing normally, this one is not as well executed.
