Dec 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep chocolate. Very rocky brown head. Falls away quickly leaving nice tan coloured lacing. Appears to be quite oily. Aromas are very complex. Some citrus and heaps of sour cherry initially. Followed by a little malt sweetness, roasted aromas and definitely some bourbon. Fantastic. Flavours are initially malty sweet. There is plenty of roasted malt and certainly some hop bitterness on the finish. Perhaps some of the bourbon is showing through also. Very complex. Great beer.

Dec 3, 2009 25 cl bottle. Nice brown head. Aroma, at first the sour bit of a cantillion with a bit of prunes. the tast goes from sour to weet to caramel and to a nice heavy darkmalt bitter. The biteernes stays for long, which is nicely balanced.

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle sample at a tasting. Black with huge brown head. Strong aroma of brett, oak, cherries, and roasted, slightly coffee-ish, chocolatey malt and bourbon notes. Sweet roasty flavor with some light woody sourness, lots of dark fruits, some pralines and barnyard. Full-bodied. Maybe slightly infected but very enjoyable.

Nov 23, 2009 On draught at pre-Zythos bash, Alvinne, March 2009. Very dark. Lots of chewy fruit in the aroma and the flavour. Lovely licorice in the flavour too. Some bitter cocoa and subtle woody vinous notes. But the plummy fruit is in the driving seat. Alcohol is warming but not too boozy. Spectacular stuff. I was enjoying it so much I nearly forgot to make any notes.

Nov 21, 2009 At a tasting, many thanks DSG , dark brown bubbly head, very dark brown almost completly opaque, funky lambicy nose with vinegar and green apples, also cocoa and some cherries coming in, flavours of charred wood and potatos and an artificial sweetness. not balanced and just a little diluted, maybe infected.

Nov 17, 2009 Bottle: i think it was a little infected, sourness in the nose, some brett, wet wood, reminds me of lambic, cocca, cocca butter, milk chocolate, honey, charcoal, gummy bears candy, i’m sure it could have been better.

Nov 14, 2009 Even more black than Black Albert. Aroma is complex, coffee, chocolate, hops caramel and bourbon whisky. Taste is a little more sweet than Black Albert, Vanille, dark sugars, coffee, chocolate and art. Carlos and Urbain, Merci for letting me taste the most rare beer and for telling me the story behind the colourful label.
