Batch #4 bottled January, 2019.

Rusty amber in color with a small amount of fizzy, short-lived head. Aroma is really nice. Even after 4.5 years the blackberries still shine through and are complemented by a light, musty funk. The blackberries are a little less obvious on the tongue, but there's more depth and nuance that's a little difficult to describe. Mixed berries, slightly earthy and very low acidity. Very light and easy to drink. Overall, a tasty wild ale.

Sample at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2017, blue session. Crystal clear ruby color. Aroma is fruity with lactic, yogurt notes and some bubblegum. Taste is sour, woody, dry with berries and berry pits. Dry, acidic mouthfeel.
