Bottle share at RBBWG 2017, thanks for sharing. Brune foncée presque noire, sur un col blanc-cassé laissant un léger filameent doré huileux au verre. Arôme au nez finement funk, rétro grillé avec un malté dominant et un léger rétro de fruité noir repris par les notes de levures sauvages. Palais,est un mélange entre le funk qui est la signature de Jolly Pumplin et un malté plus dans le style imp stout avec pas mal de biscuité voire de caramel brûlé. Funk avec ajout de barrique versant presque vers un léger balsamique. Petite amertume de fin de bouche avec un fin boisé de chêne et encore ce petit caractère fruité noir.

At RBBWG, thanks for sharing. Thin but densely moussy, pale beige head quickly reduced to a steady rim around the glass, black robe with hazy burgundy edges. Aroma of walnut shells, bitter chocolate, leather, toasted brown bread, old dry sherry, wet wood, brambleberries, black tea, balsamico, unsugared fruit yoghurt. Fruity, estery onset, passion fruit, sour cherries even, unripe plum, sweetish core surrounded by drying tartness which stretches out over the rest of the palate, pleasantly drying and sour without becoming overly acidic, resting on a softly carbonated, caramelly, ’moelleux’, nutty malt basis with toasted bitterish aspects in the finish, accentuated by a red wine-ish tartness and drying woody tannins. Sour stouts are still something of a rarity even in these experimental craft beer times but there cannot be enough of them as far as I am concerned and this is certainly a top notch example, coming across as a hybrid of Flemish red (’oud bruin’) and double stout.

Reddish rustbrown head, gone in secs over redbrown highlighted black beer; Sourish (lactic), wood, chocolate, old spirit, vinous, complex. Unbelievably complex in the mouth; roasted, sourish, lactic, buttermilk, non-sweet liquorice, and extra chocolate in the aftertaste. Well-bodied, superb balance. Dangerously drinkable, making this an exceptional beer.

Ölföreningen 2015. Smak och doft av choklad, trä, fat, kaffe med toner av lakrits. Fruktig, rund och len med fin syrlighet. Gott!
