Courtesy of Kraddel. Thanks! 500 ml. bottle split by 2 @ Barely legal tasting room. Apparently only 360 bottles ever made. BBF 09/2014. Pours a blackish dark ruby brown with little in the way of head. Smells very vinous, fermenting alcoholic red grapes, nail polish, varnish, quite sour going to vinegar. Tastes of varnish, acetone, touch liquorish, red wine vinegar, lots of freshly painted wood, quite a bit of cheap Porto, fermenting red grapes. Low carbonation. Nice but way too unbalanced with acetone, nail polish, varnish etc. Reminds me a bit of Mikkeller Sur Munk, I liked that one more. It is coold that you can totally recognise elements of Struise & Alvinne here.

Cask at Ales & Tails, Twickenham, 29/03/14. Black with a moderate light tan covering, good lacing ensues. Nose is light roast, dark malt, cocoa powder, muted hops, pine twang. Taste comprises biscuit notes, subtle hoppage, dark malt, light roasty tones, hint of tropicana, dark berry fruit skins. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Ticks the boxes for a CDA style wise but certainly at the lower end of the scale for me, lacks hop presence, pine bite and tropicana.

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average to huge, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Strawy and fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of gooseberry. Taste is strawy, slightly bitter hoppy, a fruity touch of gooseberry. Unspectacular.
