Bottle picked up from Beer Gonzo shop, Earlsdon, Coventry, consumed at home Friday 13th April 2018, whilst cooking a very posh Chicken Tikka Masala from the April BBC Good Food Magazine in the company of Isobel and Berry. Pours black not getting much bourbon on the nose, sour (definitely wild yeasts) in the mouth but also roasty and with the usual Impy Stout attributes. It's ok but not really doing it for me, I eyed it with suspicion when I purchased it, it's not a cheap beer £13+, I probably should have gone for something else. A7 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.3

375 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 12/8/2016. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of tart lemon, lime, strawberry, peach, pear, green apple, melon, white wine, citrus peel, peppercorn, vanilla, whiskey, toasted oak, hay, straw, grass, leather, musty funk, honey, white bread, light white vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, strawberries, whiskey barrels, and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tart/sour lemon, lime, strawberry, peach, pear, green apple, melon, white wine, citrus peel, peppercorn, vanilla, whiskey, toasted oak, hay, straw, grass, leather, musty funk, honey, white bread, light white vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness and yeast/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour lemon, lime, strawberry, peach, pear, green apple, melon, white wine, citrus peel, peppercorn, vanilla, whiskey, toasted oak, hay, straw, grass, leather, musty funk, honey, white bread, white vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, strawberries, whiskey barrels, and pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/tart/sour/spiciness balance. Slight pucker/astringency through the glass, but not overwhelming. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tart/sourness and yeast/oak spiciness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and sticky/acidic/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.5%. Overall this is a very nice fruited sour/wild ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, strawberries, whiskey barrels, and pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink; despite the increasingly lactic/tannic/drying finish. Classic JP house funk, great whiskey barrel presence for a sour, and nice malt balance. Quite a bit more lactic and barnyard funky than usual, but really enjoyable.

Bourbon barrel aged stout, open fermented and thus exposed to wild 'yeasts', probably a mixture of bacteria and Brettanomyces, but this is not specified so who knows... Apparently executed at Jolly Pumpkin's premises. Bottle from Beergium. Creamy, medium thick, brownish pale beige, moussy, lightly lacing head, very dark chestnut brown colour with mahogany edges, but as good as black in general appearance. Strong, interesting aroma of raw grape juice, black coffee, balsamic vinegar, vanilla-like oak wood and sweet bourbon, dry autumn leaves, blackberries, toffee, dusty old cupboard, tawny port, moist hazelnuts, damp pipe tobacco, astringently dry red wine, wet leather, passionfruit, blackcurrant juice, beef stock cubes, dried rosemary, bitter chocolate, old jute bags, glue, burnt toast, soy sauce - in all, a thick, chocolatey and coffee-like stout deeply penetrated by indeed Brett- and lactic bacteria-like effects as well as a lot of wood and bourbon, delivering what it promises on the label. Same for the taste: tart, lively, pungent onset, very sherry vinegar-, blackberry- and unripe grape-like sourness with a wry edging, hiding a fig- and passionfruit-like sweet note in the middle; softish carbonation, thick and oily mouthfeel. Greasy, full caramelly and deeply nutty maltiness glides over the tongue, dried by this vinous, astringent, red wine- and even somewhat vinegar-like tartness; develops a toasty and eventually fully roasted, very black coffee-like, mouth-filling bitterness in the finish, highlighted by a tannic old wood dryness which in itself matches well with that red wine-ish tartness; solvent-like effects retronasally, as well as late, earthy, leafy hop bitterness for good measure, and of course, as expected, a long, warming, bourbon-coloured alcohol effect in the very end, where it belongs, avoiding extra astringency. Quite a complex journey of flavours, with generous nutty and chocolatey malt sweetness being challenged by this drying, berry- and wine-like sourness which manifests itself throughout the entire palate, becoming a tad red wine vinegar-flavoured. The wood adds further complexity and the combination of this woodiness with the lactic and Bretty tartness, on top of the soft, rounded, caramelly malt sweetness, results in an effect very reminiscent of a high ABV 'oud bruin', yet darker, with a lot of thoroughly stout-like coffee bitterness. There are not enough sour stouts in this world as far as I'm concerned, I had several of them from both sides of the Atlantic with, perhaps, Bruery's Tart of Darkness as the leading example, but this one to me is on the same level of quality and complexity, indeed showing Jolly Pumpkin's own, also somewhat vinegary sour ale style to the bone. Probably tasted at just about the right age (a year and nine months) but I'm sure this can develop further over time in a positive way. A nice first encounter with a to me hitherto unknown Michigan craft brewer, motivating to find out more about them and their range.

Bottle, 0.375l. Aroma of wheat, funk, wine, barnyard, pepper and wood. Hazy orange golden color with thin quickly diminishing off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts sour vinous and citric, following is bready, yeasty, woody and earthy, mouthfeel is dry, while finish is mild bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Excellent refreshment, although a bit strong...
