May 31, 2006 Very cloudy, opaque yellow-brown beer with a thick yellow head. Bottle was a huge gusher. Aroma is nice and leathery, brett, sour notes and a bit of lactic acidity, but not terribly so. Oak and vanilla notes mixed with sweet cherry fruitiness and some cologne. Complex aroma. Flavour is less appealing than the nose, leathery and cologne-like, soft body, light tartness and a lingering oaky flavour. Light cherry fruitiness leading into the finish before ending on a leathery note. I don’t know if this is what they were going for, but I liked where it ended up.

May 27, 2006 Explosion upon opening. Cloudy dark tan colour. Berryish aroma with wood and quite a bit of lactic acid. Somewhat medicinal flavour, with sweet sorbitol candy qualities and a bit of tartnes. Not entirely successful, not entirely flawless, but there are remants of a good beer here. Still, that distinctive BFM tartness has been put to better uses. Here is seems to obfuscate the beer it could have been.

Mar 2, 2006 (Thanks a lot Papsoe) 33 cl bottle. Yeast at the bottom. Amber colour with a nice creamy-like head. Aroma of acidity and oak. Flavour of oak and earty with hints of caramel and malt. Ends up pretty very dry.

Feb 25, 2006 (Bottle 33 cl) Pours a very unclear, dark amber with a tall, handsome, beige coloured head with good retention. Light tartness in the nose. Medium body, immensely dry with some acidity and a touch of sherry. Also the finish is extremely dry. Reminds me a bit of a Belgian Saison. 240206
