Bottle. Blindtasting @ Thewolf. Pours a dark unclear brown with a creamy white head. Nose is yeast, sour, malty, caramel, some dark fruits. Quite complex nose. Medium and smooth palate. Full, sticky, oily and vinous. Nice one.

Slightly reddish-brown. Cloudy. Deep fruity notes (almost tomato, but also beet and plum) with light chocolate. Big tangy fruits (tomato, dark fruits). Kind of tart in the finish. Decent, but shattering no earth.
