Bottle. First white label for me that was not a gusher, great! more beer for me, less for the keyboard. aroma is fruity and sourish and tart, a bit like a belgian brune, quite refined and complex. hard to figure the individual notes, but i get dark dried ripe fruits, vineager, wild ale. Flavor is wild ale, licorice, faint fruity tart and sour note, burnt plastic. Not a super impressive flavor, it does taste like an infected ale, rather than a wild ale, although they can tend to taste similarly, not much barley wine over the flavor and the barrelling is not very easiliy detected, probably adds character nevertheless. some of what I get as burnt plastic could be charred wood from the barrel. perhaps they used a barrel that previously held plastic paint instead of a barrel previously holding Belize Rum. If i blind tasted this, I would guess smoked belgian double. alc. is well hidden.
