Bottle, drunk at ChrisO’s Christmas Tasting, 28th Dec 2010. Black with no head. Malty, dusty with dark fruits. Characteristic sourness present and correct. Interesting.

bottle. dark brown body with a small brown head. combination of chocolate / coffee roast and pear / apple / fruit esters, relatively strong and dominant gravel / minerals / dust and medium brett BO / oil must. medium-light body with vibrant carbonation releasing burnt grains, burnt pepper, a small bit of rubber and a toasted / caramelized apple pear presence. finishes cheesy.

Bottle @ Haand festival. Pour Black with a brownish hue, and no head. Aroma of coffee and sour berries - a rather strange combo. And the taste is also quite sour. Average body, with a slight fizzy carb. (this is rather strange)

@ ZBF ’12 Chocolate and a slight acid aroma. Dark brown, almost black colour with a brown head. Tastes a lot like pure chocolate and some fruitysourness, caramel. Fresh acid in the finish and some bitterness like chocolate/coffee.

Bottle@Home. Brett aroma, chocolate, toffee, raisin. Dark brown, light brown head, good lace. Raisin, prune, sourish, bitter, woody. Medium body, bit astringent.

At the sour tasting, Part B, thanks DSG. Pours dark opaque brown, tan head. Marmite and grapes aroma, hints of sour, but has a little beer-ish taste. Slightly bitter. Light body, light carbonation, decent.

Bottle shared at the 3rd Israeli Sour Tasting. Very dark brown to black-colored with a light brown head. Roasty aroma with some coffee and some brett. Sourish flavor with light sweetish notes, somewhat funky, with roastiness, light soy sauce hints and a dry finish. Medium-bodied. Not bad.

At the sour tasting, Part B, thanks DSG, pours dark almost black with a small beige head, aroma of roasted malt, toffee, wax, soy, chocolate, pretty lively, flavor of wood, smoke, malt acidity, a bit dry with dark bread, medium bodied

Bottle. Thanks to Scopey for the pour. Slightly cloudy deep brown color. The nose is tart raspberry funk. The taste is more light fruits mixed with a brown sugar malty base. Tasty. Medium body, active carbonation.

Bottle at CBC. It pours black, with a thick tan head. The nose is floral, lemon, tart green apple and farmyard. The taste is roasted malt, caramel, tart green apple, lemon, coffee, tangy dark fruit (blackcurrant and prune), chewy malt and alcohol warmth, with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. I’m not in love with this sour dark beer style, but it’s a decent beer nonetheless.

bottle, dark brown/black coloured with foamy, lacing brown/beige head. Smell: roasted malts, some industrial notes. Taste: roasted malts, some sourness, some fruityness. Very nice one and easy drinking!
