On handpull at the farm. Pours black. Seawater, umami, smoke, seaweed, briney, chocolate, toast. Medium body. Bizarre, potentially more intriguing than it is drinkable. Fun, wouldn't drink again.

Tap at the Boilermaker House, Melbourne. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is grainy, light doughy biscuit malt, mineral, crushed apple. The flavour is moderate to light sour with a crisp fresh, tart apple palate, Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation. An interesting sour with some complexity.

Bottle. Dark brown with a beige head that's soon less than a coat. Aroma is gentle but enveloping with hedgerow berries, milk chocolate, singed grains. Slippery, low carbonation. Fruity with gentle berries, toasted grain, milk chocolate. Really quite dry at the end with moderate but insistent acidity. A tiny acetic edge to it. Still has a softness even then. Really lovely.

Bottle. Almost black, beige head is less than a coat. Aroma redolent of the sea with oysters and a fire put out with seaweed. Some berries and Worcestershire sauce. Almost slimy texture. Taste is dulled by it but has toasty malt and a bitter, slightly astringent and salty finish. Berries come through. As advised on the bottle, I also tried this with a dry aged grass fed steak -- the texture worked much better and the astringency and salt cut the fattiness quite well. Weird. As much marinade as beer.

Capped 500 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO as TMT Tasmanian Wild Ale. Pour foams from the bottle. It's copper with a near white head. Aroma is a bit lacto/pedio and somewhat floral. Funk but not sour. Med body or so. Flavor has some musty funky woodiness, some pale fruit and some floral. Think pedio, but not lacto. Uncertain, but maybe Brett. Dry. Earthy/funky. Decent ale. Good even. For some reason it's making me think of BFM s/w ales - but without the acid and/or paint thinner characteristics of some of those. Recommended.
