Thanks to blutt59 for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours an orange-amber color with a white head. The aroma is full of vinegar, brown sugar, toffee and some light dark fruit. The flavor is similar, with the dark fruit and vinegar standing out. In the background there is some brown sugar and toffee, as well as some sugary sweetness. Medium mouthfeel and low to medium carbonation.

Bottle sample as a bonus beer at the Smuttynose tasting at Ale Wine & Spirits on 4/27/12. Pours clear amber with no head. Aroma is malt, cherries and vinegar sourness. Malty flavor with wine and cider vinegar notes along with some cherries before a flat red wine finish.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 04/27/2012. This brew pours a hazy amber color with a medium thin white head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Vinous news with notes of spices and yeast. Full-bodied with flavors of oak, tart grapes, yeast and spice. The finish is oaky with a vinous aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Lovely malty beer, balanced by a fine sourness. Fruit and berries, redcurrants.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 ml bottle. Assemblage no. 3.
Pours a deep amber colour with a small head. Aroma is tart with notes of wood, Pinot Noir and juicy berries. Actually reminds me a bit of Russian River’s Supplication. Flavour of sweet juicy and tart berries, grapefruit, wood, vinegar. Medium bodied, thin mouthfeel and a stinging acidic finish with strong wood. Aroma is great but this is a bit too thin. Great acidity as well.

Pours hazy amber color with no head. Aroma of sour fruits, rose hip, rowan berries, grassy notes and some yeast. Some barnyard notes also. Flavor of sour fruits, wood, earth, yeast, ripe and sour fruits, some spices and rose hip. Nice aroma which the taste does not quite meet.

75 cl bottle ”Assemblage No 3, 00276” @ olio. BBE 2015
Looks like a real ale in the glass. Aroma is sour and somewhat tart with manure, oaky notes and rosehip. Rather stinging tartness in the flavour. Also some sourness, rosehip, balsamico vinegar and oaky notes. Palate has practically no CO2 at all. Dry and somewhat leathery finish. Not my thing, too close to oud bruin style beers. Hides the alcohol very well.

750ml bottle from Alko Arkadia
Assemblage No 3, 00276 -
Pours dark orange/reddish brown with a tiny bubbly head. Strong tart fruity aroma with some earthy notes and berries. Taste is quite sweet and juicy with some tart fruits, hints of sourness and red wine. Finish is slightly sour with notes of malts and berries. Okay, quite sweet and juicy for a sour ale, but otherwise quite well balanced. Alcohol is extremely well hidden.
