Gotta first give credit - where does an artistic concept like a guy biting a pillar come from?
Reddish-brown colour. Big fluffy head. Rich brown sugar, plu, pear nose with abundant spicy, footy yeastiness. The body’s a little fizzy, hiding a light dusty yeast and sweet dark malts, dates. There’s a slight sharpness late - at this point its faint enough that it could just be alcohol but I worry. It’s got just enough character to be characterful but is still a fairly standard-issue brew.

Jul 2, 2008 Pours a murky brown-maroon color with thin tan frothy head. It has a light sweet chocolate and phenol aroma. Smooth body with a slight stickiness. Caramel and chocolate flavor with some tart cherries and a light spiciness. The tartness is unexpected and makes me wonder whether it was a bad bottle or a flemish influence. Drinkable but lacks depth.
