750ml. Pours a red brown with a thin beige head. Nose is sour cherry with strong woody notes, vanilla caramel and black peppercorns. Also a straw like note thats a little odd. Fairly spicy up front with sour cherry notes. Big woody creamy caramel in the middle. A burst of suprising hops in the finish keep this one balanced but also keep it from being a favorite of mine. As always with JP, an interesting and well done beer.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours hazy light brown with a nice, staying, creamy beige head. Aroma has notes of raspberries, brett, light roasted notes, oak, apples and a slight pepperiness. Highish, prickly carbonation, fine and light mouthfeel. Flavour has brett, oak, super dryness, light apple. Some roasted notes in the background with some milky chocolate and grapes. This is the winter beer, morphing into a spring beer. Nice!

Bottle from Ledger’s. Pours a dark ruby with a large, creamy beige head. Aroma of sour funk (light) over plummy fruit. Impression is tart. Full bodied with frothy carbonation. Flavor is barnyard mild, lightly tart, with cherries and/or red skinned plums. Finishes smooth, slightly tart, slightly Brett, slightly fruity, and incredibly delicious.

Dark amber hue in the glass. flavor is fruity tart. Carbonation keeps it interesting on the tongue. Very enjoyable, don’t share with your promiscuous beer friends, keep it to yourself.

Bottle, batch 346/348, bought at Ølbutikken and shared with Skinnyviking. Dark amber hue with a filmy layer. Tart aroma with notes of yeast. Rounded flavour of fruity tartness, caramel malts and spices. Quite lively carbonation. Slow building and a bit heavy to drink. Average to my palate and rating (Copenhagen, 17.05.2009).
