Bottle from the brewery. Interesting! Reminiscent of an oud bruin initially, but then has a interesting black treacle element in the background. Aroma has bit of plastic, sharp sourness, malt and spice. Taste is very unique, citrus, sourness, but sweet at the same time. Definite bitterness, licquorice, touch of spice. Can't quite get to grips with it. Think I like it though. Extra points for uniqueness.

Sampled from a 0.75l bottle @ Top Hops (BA) Bottle Share. This is a cloudy amber brown colored one. It has near no head but what little is there looks light sidesticking and beige in color. The nose is a little soapy in a way. I get herbs, leather and thyme. In the taste it's light tart with brett, wood, old ripe sweet fruits and some of that leather found in the aroma. Have to say that there is a lovely deep taste in this. Wish I had a bit more time (alone) with the bottle before it disappeared... 15.06.2013

750 ml bottle from the source, at the DC last minute ticker tasting, courtesy of me - thank me very much! Murky maroon brown, no significant head or lacing. Aroma of sour plums, raisins, and peaches soaked in wine (we used to eat them that way in Sicily when I was a kid). Taste is sour and funky dark fruits, sweat and animals. Nice stuff.

Bottle @ Seabass going away party, Jan15th ’11 Brune foncée avec un léger trouble, mousse est beige. Arôme fruité noir, malt et caramel avec en bouche des notes de malt grillé, une fine aigreur fruité se fait présente en bouche suivit de caramel. Pas mal comme bière, mélangeant le style old ale avec ce côté agréable et acidifie venant peut-être des fruits. Cette bière ce distance un peu du style plus saison dont j’ai l’habitude pour Upright.
