Bottle courtesy of Kryptic: Poured a hazy brown color ale with a bug light brown color head with great retention and great lacing. Aroma of funky yeast with some brett-like aroma with some sour and tart notes. Taste is also dominated by sour notes with loads of oak and barnyard-like notes. Minimum filtration with great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I really enjoyed again the wild taste of the JP beers but cannot say that I detected much cinnamon or cacao.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Brown-gold pour with a big white head. Cloudy and leaving amazing lacing. Pungent sharp sourness with cinnamon behind it. Opens with cinnamon into big barnyard-earthy funk. Finishes with deep bitter dark chocolate. Full-bodied and highly drinkable. The chocolate in the finish is a perfect contrast to the sourness. Masterfully-balanced like so many JP offerings.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottled. Hazy and amber coloured with a rather large white head. Quite malty with notes of orangepeel, cloves, cinnamon, cocoa, cherry, nuts and wood. Ok balanced and quite complex - maybe even a little confusing.

Jul 27, 2008 Mørk nøddebrun med beige skum som hurtigt forsvinder. Dufter af gløgg og kanel, maltet og noget sjovt syrligt, nødder og appelsin. Syrlig i smagen, nødder maltet, noget appelsinskal og cacao. Humlen er meget anonym og overdøvet af krydderierne
