750ml solodome at home. Pours opaque dark brown with a fast dissipating loose tan head. Aroma: acetic, light balsamic vinegar, fruity, tart dark fruits. Taste: moderate tartness, the taste follows the aroma, lots of sour dark fruits. Medium body with low carbonation. I think the chestnuts got lost here, but it wasn't a struggle to finish the bottle over a couple of hours with a cheeseboard

500ml bottle. Pours unclear orange amber brown with no head. I found it tricky describing this one. Earthy & herbal aromas. Taste comprises roots & vegetables with heavy acetic and a lingering bitter finish. Medium body and no carbonation to speak of. Very odd

Third by cask, shared with Finn on the third day of GBBF Winter 20, Astbury Bar. Dark coloured body with a deep reddish shade. Pink-beige head, clingy lacing. Malt-berry aromas, dry. Dark plums and chocolate malts to the taste character. Sweet and semi-tart finish. Satisfying (Birmingham 06.02.2020).
