Mahogony crimson red nose has a lot of oak, raisins and prunes. Smells really great. Almost red wine-esque. Up front currants and loads of dark fruits. Prunes and raisins. Bourbon really dominated at the finish. Chocolate and cherry as well. The sour is tame. It’s very subdued.

750 ml. bottle obtained in a trade with digita7693. Split with Kraddel. Drank most of the bottle. Reddish dark brown, tanned head. Nose is huge coffee ground, coffee everywhere, good quality coffee (I always drink tea but never coffee whilst I think that the coffee that most people drink is rubbish, I can enjoy a coffee of good quality), red fruits, touch brett and wild yeast, mellow in the background, mocha, bit thinned out and grounds feel. Touch vinegar in the beginning of the taste, sour good coffee, coffee beans and ground, cacao, mocha, touch red wine sour, nuts, macchiato, grounds, faint ashes. A nice cup of slightly sour coffee, definitely beats SpontanKoppi.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Bruce. Pours hazy, deep red with a frothy pink head. Nice dried berries in the nose, a bit of funk, blueberry. Light to medium sweet flavor with dank berries, decent tartness, a bit of funky sweat, juicy blackberry. Medium bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Clean finish, nice tart berry character, a bit of acidic bite, salt. Very nice.
