Bottle shared at DS. It pours dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma earthy roast, umami, tangy, dark fruits, fruit cake, musty, funky, brett and rocky road. The taste is dry, tart, tangy, earthy roast, ashy, umami, vinous, liquorice, lactic, musty, funky, burnt toast and tar with an umami-led finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. A bit unbalanced. Charred, umami and burnt funk.

Cask at In De Wildeman, Carnivale Brettanomyces ‘18. CLoudy amber color. No head. Aroma's: lemon and lime indeed, light sweet, perfumey. Retronasal it's a bit milder, lemon & lime, sourish. Flavor is moderate bitter, bitter lemon. Light bodied. Long finish, rather bitter.

Lemon- and lime-flavoured saison as the name says, tasted from tap at In De Wildeman during Carnivale Brettanomyces. Loose and thin, off-white, open head over a hazy peach blonde beer with somewhat ruddy hue. Aroma of strong lemon candy ("Napoléon") and lime juice, soap, ginger candy, glue, washing powder, dried dandelion, bread crust, dried apple peel. Tart onset, rhubarb, sorrel and green plums with the expected lime edge, softish carb, bit resinous mouthfeel; bread crust-like maltiness underneath this strong lime aspect, distracting from the beer's basic finishing features of lingering graininess, late dried wormwood-like hop bitterness and drying natural tartness. The strong, soapy and perfumey, candy-like lime / lemon factor clashes completely with the bready, dry, spicy basic character of the beer, even to the point that I could not finish the glass. Not my kind of farmhouse ale at all, but leave that ridiculous lemon thing out and we'll talk again.

'Wild black ale' from this modern craft brewer in Ripley, basically a stout of mixed fermentation, thanks to Craftmember for sharing at In De Wildeman in Amsterdam. Loose and thin, open, pale yellowish beige ring of a 'head' on a blackish beer with hazy, deep mahogany-chestnut brown hue. Aroma of strong 'drop' (liquorice candy) and salmiak, sherry vinegar, blackcurrant jam, elderberry leaves, very old red wine, ink, damp wood, plum peel, shoe polish. Sourish onset with subdued sweetish core, unripe plum, blackberries and elderberries, bit wry, softly carbonated (near flat, actually), smooth and resinous mouthfeel; hard caramel-like maltiness, bitter chocolate note, toasty bitterness accentuated by wry tannins and the sourness, liquorice and cassis aspects in the finish, late earthy hop and coffee grounds bitterness; lingering sherry vinegar tartness with solventy notes, bit ink-like. Weird concoction, sour stouts can turn out very good in many cases (even if rarely made) but this one seems to contain too many harshly clashing flavours to work well, a problem I encountered in more of these LandLocked sours. Not my cup of tea.
