Bottle shared @ tasting. Thanks Nathan! Soft carbonation. Very moldy basement odor. Taste is sharp sour, notes of vinegar, wine, brett. Nice taste, but a pity this smells so old.

Amber coloured with a nose of oak and sour fruits.

Tastes of the oak aging and fruity sourness , I get cherries with a vinegar like sourness as well.

Light bodied with medium carbonation and the alcohol comes across as light as well.

Black Barrels does the Wild Ales well if at a premium price.

Light bodied with light carbonation.

Good grief. I go to the bathroom and the other stuff I posted disappears.

In a nutshell, looks average, has a fruity vinegar tartness smell with a hint of Brett.

Tastes of green apples , vinegar, mild funk, bit of hop bitterness, overall very dry.

375 ml bottle Zip, ÷$12 a capped and corked bottle. Worthy of a repurchase.

Capped and corked 375 ml bottle.

Pours black but more of a cola black than pitch black. There was a solid pop when I pulled the cork out but no gushing. Not a huge head of off white foam but persistent.

The sour smell leans towards a vinegar character but dark pitted fruit is there as well. Slight nose from the oak aging peeks through.

Much more oak in the taste. Vinegar and dark fruits sourness rule the roost. Some vanilla in the background.

Medium body light carbonation.

Heck of a good sour beer but the price point is kind of hard to go to on a regular basis.
