33 cl bottle @ Tampella
Aroma has rubbery notes, soy sauce and salty licorice, reminds me of Freigeist beers. Very sour and tart flavour with grapefruit, sour apples, lactic acid and plastic. Also some redcurrants, vinegar and balsamico. Quite undrinkable.

Pours dark brown, almost black with a tiny head. Aroma of roasted malts, vinegar, sourish notes and off-flavors. Taste is messy, slightly roasty and sourish with loads of vinegar and off-flavors. Finish is sweetish, messy and sourish. Something is clearly wrong here.

Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of sour notes is quiet strong with almost no roasted malt notes easily discernible. Taste is totally dominated by strong sour notes with roasted malt/coffee/chocolate notes almost indiscernible. Body is light with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Way too sour of the style or to be truly enjoyable drinking for that matter.

375ml bottle pours an inky black with some spitty, beige head. Nose of rubber, smoke, vomit, butyric acid. Flavor is nasty, vomit, sweet tarts, toasted bread, pepper, lemon, vitamin C. Nasty finish. Woof.

Bottle. Overpoweringly sour, infected I guess.

Appearance: Deep golden color with a fine thick foamy white head that leaves a fine lacing.
Aroma: Caramel malty, hoppy and mild fruity.
Palate: Medium body. Moderate sweet and a fine bitterness. Soft carbonation.
Taste: Dominating caramel malty, hoppy and a fine tropical fruity background.
Overall impression: Nice tasty ale, but a bit mild for an IPA. More like an British special bitter.
Personal stats: On tap at Pivovar Sandorf in Prievaly, Slovakia.
