Oh my! I haven’t tasted one like this since Grey Parrot brewing Alt Bier. This is special. Tastes like a wild sour barrel alt bier. If I have to knock it I’ll say it is a touch sweet. If I tasted it with my eyes closed I would swear it was from Cascade Brewing. Cloudy brown beer no head. Wild sour yeast is the centerpiece of this beer. Wine and barrel. Grapes. Rustic. delicious. A Jordanesque beer.

Bottle at home. The colour is hazy deep dark mahogny with a small light brown head. Well carbonated. Powerful aroma of dried fruit, oak, red currants, alcohol, heather, dark berries and rubber. Pretty comlex. The flavour is more fruity with a touch of wine grapes, and is a bit dry in the end with solid touch of alcohol and wood. Has a rich and slick mouth feel, and a light berry bitterness. A wonderful complex and interesting beer.

Bottled@vPBFII. Amber colour, small beigeish brown colour. Aroma and flavour is mild sour wood, some toffee, spices, alcohol and mild sugary sweetness. Not very interesting, but still quite nice.

330 ml bottle.
Pours a dark amber brown colour with a white head. Aroma of sweet caramel, nuts and some sourness. Flavour of caramel, nuts, sour berries, wood, tannine and some herbal notes. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and a dry, sour, woody finish. Finishes sour, woody and light sweet. Much better than to non-barrel aged version.

33 cl bottle @ wPBF’13.
Pours dark cloudy copper color with a small head. Aroma of sweet fruits, some dark fruits, dark berries and herbs. Flavor of sour fruits, some sweetish malts, dark berry notes and hay. Nice.

Aroma is sour with cherries, oaky notes and some sherries. Flavour is sweet with sour cherries, vinegar and oaky notes. Too oud bruin.

On draft at Torst. This was aged in red wine barrels. A medium-strength brew with pleasant hops, and interesting sour notes. It has an aroma of good red wine and flowers. There is a spicy tingle on the palate. Very interesting.

Bottle from Vinmonopolet, Kvadrat. Gusher, selfpouring, dark ruby with no head at all. Aroma of red berries, light sour and acidic, vinous. Taste is more sour, light sweet malts, tart and red wine, some wood. Dry clean mouthfeel.Strange, not uninteresting.

(Critique chaotique du extreme beer fest 2013): Vineux, acide, trace d’éthanol, assaut des sucres, pêche, mangue. Au premier contact, on croyait à un jus de clémentine, aurait exigé un meilleur échantillon.

Bottle poured a clear reddish brown with a lingering ring of tan foam. Aromas of camel, brown sugar, vinous notes and oak. Palae was light bodied and crisp with a smooth dry finish. Flavors of toffee, brown sugar, vinous notes and oak with asmooth dry finish.
