Gusher out of the bottle, but that’s not a surprise. Beautiful big head fades rather quickly. Body is completely thick with a murky reddish dark brown color. Some chucks visible in the body but that’s it, no clarity at all. Aroma is very bretty, it a bit harsh, a very aggressive and not fruity or pineapple-y at all. Plenty of funk that mixes with strong cherry aromas (not juicy or artificial) that are rather sweet. Some acidic tones as well. Taste losses a lot of the funk and brettt but still has plenty of thick cherry and a good malt backbone that matches well with the cherry. The mouthfeel is very overcarbonated, which takes away from the flavor a bit.
750mL bottle, Darkness tulip.

Thanks to JoeMcPhee for sharing this - this poured a very cloudy red - at first, the aroma and flavor were dominated by strong phenolic character, but as the beer was allowed to breathe, that quality faded, and this turned out to be quite a complex beer - extremely earthy flavor, with a lot of sour/acidic cherry skins and pits - the bacteria fermentation is evident; quite a bit of lacto character - little sweetness - lightly funky, with a slight vinegar-ish bite at the end - interesting.

Cloudy ruby red; small pink head. Cherries, sour cherries, tart nose, wheat-like background. Cedarwood (like pencils), cherries (real fruit). It is reassuringly tart in the taste/MF too, but all the same, there’s a strange presence that I would like to loose - yeast esters? lesser malts? Well-bodied, fruit filled. Generally nice, but there’s something... I might live with some longer lagering.

Muddy dark cherry color. Nice aroma of malt, Bretts, cherries, cobwebs, dough. Medium body strength, but well structured, with caramel flavor, light sweetness, tartness, light astingency, light fruits. Correct bitterness, with a cheesy final astringency, light. Very good.

Cloudy dark amber color; huge creamy head; very lively.
Wonderful aroma, softly sour, a bit fruity, with a very light perception of flowers (violets). Persistent: it lasts till the end!
Medium body strength, high carbonation; it’s quite sour, with a light cherry fruitness, and most of all it has an extreme astringency, yet all the flavors fight for the balance.
Very bitter final, and astringent as well.
A big thank to Agostino, the brewmaster, for sharing this wonderful bottle, one more excellent brew from B.I.
