On tap at Saraveza, pours a deep dark murky brown with a few bubbles of head. Aroma is very murky, with jumbled cocoa and cherries, along with earthy notes. Flavour is very strange, with a mess of discordant notes - cocoa, earthy notes and lots of tartness. It all clashes in a disharmonious way. Not good at all.

Bottle thanks to Matt. Pours a cloudy amber with thin off white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is a strong oak, raisin, and booze. Medium mouthfeel with cherry skin, raisin, and boozy finish. Good

Deutlich saurer Antrunk, intensive Traubennoten. Komplex, vollmundige Fruchtigkeit, adstringent, langer saurer Nachgeschmack, sehr gut! 11/12/12/14/8/14

Courtesy and thanks to digita7693 , LoPo87 and Sam. 375 ml. bottle sampled. 2nd batch, first batch bottled. Red hued touch murky brown, little mocha head. Smells of paint thinner and chocolate cherries, touch red wine and dark malts plus chocolate. Tastes of sweet chocolate upfront, going mildly sour, chocolate cherries, paint thinner, red wine, chocolate cake, oak, mellow funk, full bodied, touch lower carbonation. Quite enjoyable, tastes a bit like something that Mikkeller would release to me.

Courtesy and thanks to digita7693 , LoPo87 and Sam. 500 ml. growler sampled. Clearer on the sides dark brown, touch bordeaux, murky, not much in the way of head. Smells heavily of mind, lavender, black pepper, soy sauce, mint and lavender are pretty over, a clear wtf moment. Tastes of bitter mint (toothpaste mint and not real mint), some nice sweet sugary chocolate, faint tartness, booziness from the barrels, soy sauce, black pepper, chocolate malts, herbal, touch roast. Low carbonation. Okay in theory but tastes more like a novelty than anything else and a tasting glass is already to much. “Faux pas” indeed.

Bottle split at the Jack is back tasting, big thanks again to Bruce for another De Garde offering, 06/03/14. Hazed light red with a crimson covering. Nose is zingy blackberry, stewed berries, blackberry crumble, light woody fruit tang. Taste comprises blackberry jam, berry crumble, light acidic, berry stained oak. Light to medium body with spritzy carbonation, tangy dark berry vibes in the finale. Super solid ’linner!
