Bottle, 75cl corked. It's a lightly hazy one, orange in color and with a small white head. Apricot fruityness, sour fruityness, a light cheesy funkyness and some citrus. It's tart and full bodied, softly carbonated, with mostly fruity flavors. Apricot, citrus zest and yellow plums. Some melon. A touch of vinegar sourness. Lasting sour, fruity finish. Quite nice and intense this one. 241231

Bottle. Pours an opaque black with a small brown head that soon fades to a ring around the glass. The aroma is big and bold anise, whiskey barrel and dark fruits. The taste is similarly big and bold with anise, dark fruits, vanilla, and sweet chocolate. The palate is full and oily with very soft carbonation. Finishes long and semi-sweet with lingering sweetened coffee. Overall: decent brewski, sweet but not cloying. Paired well with some Reggiano

At a Beermalade tasting. Rather thin body, med-high carbonation. Medium bitterness, light grainy astringency, light-low sweetness. Mostly malty, medium nutty, light caramelly, hints of fruitiness. Not my favourite, which aint surprising as generally amber beers have to do something different to be such. This one does not.

On tap at Craft & Carry UWS, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is full of tart blueberry and raspberry skins, wild yeast, and some subtle grape skins. Flavour has a nice blueberry skin character, light raspberry skins, and musty wild yeast. A bit jumbled but it�s alright.
