Bottle: Poured a dark copper color aler with a small foamy head with limited retention. Aroma of caramelized malt with dry notes and some oxidation is also clearly noticeable. Taste is also a mix of oxidized notes with caramel malt notes and light soy sauce.Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable even though the bottle is past its prime.

Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown in color with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet maple syrurp, bourbon barrels, vanilla, toasted pecans and some molasses
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a sweet, roasty and toasty blend; finishes maple-y and toasted pecan-like
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper; very smooth along the tongue and a touch of stickiness (not cloying) just noticeable
Overall: if they put any more maple in this it may have been a cloying mess but it was done up the right way and would be worthy to come back to.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: kiwis, kumquats, vinous tones, funky/floral character, green apple and oak
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a tart to sour to semi-sweet sort of way with a finish of kiwi/green apple/kumquat funky vinous sweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied, good sipper, plenty of vinous tart to sour acidity seems to act pretty abrasive with the tongue but I knew that was coming
Overall: a very nicely done sour ale I'd be willing to come back to.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown close to purple-ish with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated somewhat quick and barely left any lace
Aroma: pomegranate, black cherries, red raspberries, then light lemon juice and a subtle vinous character, slight lacto vibes
Flavor: sour to sweet to tart and vinously blends the prior noted aromas; finishes tart and sour through the pomegranate, black cherries and red raspberries
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, enough sour & tart character seem to be assertive to the tongue
Overall: nicely done sour ale which could be construed as a fruited sour ale (depending on who you talk to) and would be one I would return to.

Can to stange.
Appearance: copper in color with some transparency and a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: the cucumber is there and the Kolsch aspects
Flavor: the cucumber plays nicely with a mellow sweetness in the Kolsch beer; finishes cucumber-like and some floral and biscuity notes
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: I believe the cucumber was a nice touch to this beer. It would be nice again on a hot Summer's day.

Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, orange, biscuity malt, caramel, pine, leaves, some floral notes, hops. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a medium bitter finish. Too malty and sweet, but still drinkable. Not a "hop riot" at all.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam, Carnivale Brettanomyces 2016. Aroma is sour fruits, tart berries, citrus, peach, touch of vinegar. Flavour is nicely puckering sour with a dry finish. Body is medium. Nicely fruity aroma and strong sour flavour. Fantastic!
