Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some deep toasted coconut notes and some residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some nice toasted coconut notes with just the right amount of residual sugar notes. Body is full with an oily texture and good carbonation with no discernible alcohol notes. Solid pastry stout with great flavours and great balance/drinkability.

750mL blend 2 bottle drunk 12/31/25, as pictured.
Like the La Fosse I just had, this smells wonderfully fragrant of rich, full, bright, authentic raspberry (just as the apricot was excellent in the La Fosse). But, just like La Fosse, it doesn't have a huge amount of depth to it, with low brett, low barrel. Just a rather one-trick pony. Lots of lactic acidity portends heavy sourness to come.
Hmmm, yes, indeed sour. Maybe not quite as sour as the 2022 La Fosse I had yesterday, but at nearly 5.5 years old, this is still VERY sour. Oak tannin, juicy raspberry and still quite an ample texture (also just like the La Fosse). Maybe a bit more barrel, vanilla, very light Brett here, but it's still mostly raspberry and very sour lactic acidity.

2022 750mL bottle from the brewery, drunk 12/30/25, as pictured.
Almost four years on and it's still bursting with fresh, beautiful apricot character in the nose. Biscuit/cracker malt in the background with moderate oak and moderate lactic acidity. No acetic here, thankfully. The apricots absolutely steal the show.
Bright, juicy, acidic, very fruity with wonderful apricot flavor, but a good deal of acid, as SP is wont to do with their fruited sours (though it's become much better in the last year or so). Not acetic, so it's bearable, and the apricot is fantastic. But yeah...this is cringe/pucker levels of acid (though it clears pretty quickly). Could be better complexity, as well (Brett, funk, oak, etc...)
