Lots of PB on the nose but the rest is absolutely crushed by an absolutely absurd about of tartness and a lingering acidity. Boo.

Flaska från Mikkeller Beer Club(?), åtminstone tre år gammal. Orangefärgad, smådisig, vit krona. Rejält surt, bra djup, i amerikansk tradition. Mer kärnor än frukt från körsbären. Vaniljen ger en liten skjuts i sötman, men känns mestadels borta vid det här laget. Syran ger rejält av stenfrukt, och särskilt kärnor. Aprikos, persika, lite plommon. Mycket gott.

Bottle, 375 ml shared with Max, Miro B and kajser27. Cloudy orange, small white head. Bit funky, some noble hops, light fruity notes, barrel, tad sour, bland. Light to medium bodied. Expected a bit more, but still nice beer.
