Sample from bottle at Carnivale Brettanomyces. Didn't take many notes, just enjoyed good beers and good company. What I do remember: Great label, juniper notes.

Bottler from the brewery, drunk watching Chief of War. Dark reddish brown, nice head. Nose is very lightly farmhouse sour, dark malt. There's smoke on the tongue, woody notes, dry but with a flavorful complex body. Very earthy and chewy flavor. It reminds me of a barrel aged Flemish red! Really nice, going to let it warm up a bit more to drink the second half.

0.375l bottle, huge thanks Jonas for sharing with us! Lightly hazy golden body, off-white head. Big elderflower aroma, AGAIN, lightly more dank than the other versions. Lean, dry, bit minerally elder taste, smooth, but even more one-dimensional than the original and the aged versions. Still nice enough, but I liked the aged version better.

Bottle 5/45. Hazy amber-golden, lowish head. Subtle nose, light funky peachfuzz, medium body, some remaining fruity sweetness, flowery on the palate, pleasant elderflower retronasal. Quite clean actually, less funk than in the official and unofficial aged bottles. The wild yeast did not dontoo much work on the bottle yet at this point.
