Bottle at Sour Share. Pours a cloudy brown with small white head that lasts. The aroma is grape and dark fruits. Medium mouth, sweet malt, dark fruit, caramel, with nice tart fruit and light sourness, very good.

Original brew, in a series of vintages, this one matured in a combination of no less than 11 wine barrels; essentially a ’massive ale’ in abbey beer form, but the wine barrels render it ’oaky’ and sourish, reminiscent of a ’versnijbier’ or even an ’oud bruin’. Off-white, thin and unstable head on a misty bronze beer; smells of caramel, red wine, yoghurt, passion fruit, bread, blackcurrant; very fruity taste with an explicit, drying lactic acidity that carries on till deep into the finish, soft maltiness, a bit oily mouthfeel, woody. Interesting, especially since it’s Swiss, but I guess this is only truly enjoyable to those who prefer the sour beer types.

Capped 750 (#00276) from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy dark amber/brown with no head. Aromas of sourish oak and grapes. Med body or so. Little carbonation. It’s sort of a Flanders red. Not too sour, very woody/oaky, and it seems to have a lot of grape. Mostly red berry. Finishes, dry, mildly sour and somewhat oak astringent. Very tasty.

Bottle from Alko Arkadia. Murky reddish, amber color, no head. Tart, strawberry aroma. Medium to full-bodied. Very berryish, strawberry, tart cherries, alcohol. Some red wine notes. Not the best of these BFMs. Too much overriped berries.

Bottled (from alko arkadia, thanks tbone, surprisingly enough bottle 00276). Hazy ambery pale brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is tart wood, some slight sourness as well as some slight berries. Flavour is rather similar with a nice acidicy sourness to it. Mild sweet alcohol as well. Quite pleasantly balanced.

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 04/27/2012. This brew pours a hazy amber color with a medium thin white head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Vinous news with notes of spices and yeast. Full-bodied with flavors of oak, tart grapes, yeast and spice. The finish is oaky with a vinous aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

75 cl bottle ”Assemblage No 3, 00276” @ olio. BBE 2015
Looks like a real ale in the glass. Aroma is sour and somewhat tart with manure, oaky notes and rosehip. Rather stinging tartness in the flavour. Also some sourness, rosehip, balsamico vinegar and oaky notes. Palate has practically no CO2 at all. Dry and somewhat leathery finish. Not my thing, too close to oud bruin style beers. Hides the alcohol very well.

750ml bottle from Alko Arkadia
Assemblage No 3, 00276 - Pours dark orange/reddish brown with a tiny bubbly head. Strong tart fruity aroma with some earthy notes and berries. Taste is quite sweet and juicy with some tart fruits, hints of sourness and red wine. Finish is slightly sour with notes of malts and berries. Okay, quite sweet and juicy for a sour ale, but otherwise quite well balanced. Alcohol is extremely well hidden.
