Pinkish and hazy. Very toasty. Lots of toasty, but then a fairly big plum character. I have to think what I'm perceiving as toastiness is the tea.

750mL 2015 bottle drunk 8/13/23. Clear, golden-apricot. Small, off-white head quickly to ring. Nose is very tart, but full of rich fruit despite its 8 years in bottle. Lots of lactic, moderate acetic, low brett. Malts seem supportive with light honey, a hint of caramel and plentiful oak and vanilla. Big burst of sour lactic and acetic, but fortunately the lactic and the fruit acidity vastly outdoes any acetic character. The malts and oak make the beer, providing a a slick, soft, deep texture to soak up some of the big acidity. Palate accustoms nicely to the acid, however and by the end it's mostly malt, oak and fruit character.

Can pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours an opaque pinkish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright plums, oak, and some acidic notes. Flavour is full of juicy plums, oak, acidic notes, and light acetone. Juicy, acidic and pleasantly integrated. Good stuff.

500mL bottled 2020 drunk 8/11/23. Clear, marigold-to-brass. Small, off-white head, instantly to nothing. Nose is a bit mousey, earthy, weird, probably the vanilla and such. Some peach skin, pedio, moderate-to-heavy lactic acidity emerges. Touch of vanilla-like oxidation. But it opens up much better and after a long breathing/warming, the vanilla is sweet, succulent and leads to peach, bright bourbon and light white wine. No booze. Soft, malty, good oak character with moderate peach, lots of lactic but no acetic or brett. Leathery, with lots of vanilla from both barrel, oxdidation and actual bean. Clean, though, soft, sweet, succulent, sour. Very nice and just gets better and better as it sits and warms. Bourbon is spicy and drying, not overdone.

Bottle, gift from Pam. Hazy deep golden body with no head. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of orange zest, honey and a hint of bourbon. Flavour of red grape and nectarine with a sour lemon finish. Medium body with a spritzy texture. Very fizzy. It’s complex bit too sharp/acidic for me to love it.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 11 Mar 2023) Dark red colour with brief, beige head. Fruity, sourish nose with notes of cherries, red fruit and almonds. Fruity, tart taste with cherries, almonds, red fruit, oak wood, brown sugar and a low bitterness in a tart finish. More than medium body, with a slight caramel sweetness. Tasty, well balanced and elegant. Good Flemish red character with lots of sour cherries. Very nice.
