Reddish-brown. Light head. Barrely aroma with dark fruits (grape, plum) and a light chocolate note. Sweet & sour palate. Very woody, with a light plum fruitiness. Decent, wood-accented example.

Clear dark red with medium off white head. Slightly sour aroma with woody and balsamic notes. Sweet and mild sour flavor with woody, sour apples and malty notes. Get some sour berry notes. Ok - but lacks sourness.

Beautiful brown color with red beams. The aroma is a bit woody and cheesy, original. The flavor is of an ordinary Amber Ale, with a touch of wood and very light sourness, but without the sugar and body that I like in my beer. The final is therefore week.

Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Weirdly sour, and does have coconut aroma and flavour. Good fruit and sourness overall.

The color is red-brown and the head is creamy. The aroma is sour in the right way and it has notes of malt, berries and wood. The flavour has both sourness and sweetness, and I find notes of caramel, wood, berries and hints of vanilla. It’s a really nice one.

Botella. Clear deep amber-red colour with a short fizzy head. Nice woody dark fruity sour aroma. Good soft mouthfeel. The flavour has a pleasant roastiness with dark fruits, good soft sourness, some cherry and wood. Dry bitter fruity finish with a sour touch.

A Sim rate (Bottle at Chris O’s shindig): Coconut aroma with some oak and a bit of red wine. Flavour - red wine again. Berries. With coconut in a bitter finish.
