@ ACBF 2011. The aroma has roasted malts, lots of fruits, liquorice, red wine. Black coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste has a very smooth bretty sourness, roasted malts, balsamico, red wine, liquorice and dark fruits. Best combination of a sour and stout I tasted so far.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Leighton (4097) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 4, 2011
Draft at ACBF 2011. Pours black with a very dense, beige head. Sour, sugary and floral nose. Dynamic flavor, sweet, lightly fruity, faintly roasty. Not lip-puckeringly sour; it blends in nicely with sugary notes. Full bodied with lively carbonation. Warm finish, sticky sweet, mild cocoa, some very ripe, dark fruits. Great stuff.

Cleaning up ratings from ACBF 2011 - I must have liked it as I scribbled a high rating on my paper, but was not taking any notes by this time of the festival. Oh well...

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 kerolasa (377) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - JUL 8, 2011
Very stout looking beer. Black, light brown head. Smells like stout e.g. malty. Taste is sweet had raw. I assume there is plenty of hops in this one, which makes this unusually bitter stout. I do like the combination. Otherwise everything is quite as you could expect, strong aromas, plenty of alcohol, long lasting taste which develops to complex hop aromas. Overall a beer one can be proud of.

Intensiver Malzantrunk, in dem sich schon zu Beginn ein säuerlicher Grundton einnistet. Dieser wird mit der Zeit vom Malz eingekreist, was sich konstant ausbreitet. Cremige Kaffeenoten zum Schluss, aromatisch. /12/11/12//13
