Oct 6, 2005 Bottle At Archer Ale House
Pours a hazy light brown witha modest but dense head and wispy lacing. Dry and musty aroma. Tart woody and of apples, pears and slightly spicy. Quite dry aftertaste. Very interesting

Sep 26, 2005 Bottle tasted at Archer’s Ale House in Bellingham
Dark hazy brown, creamy head, light lacing. Nose of pure oak and hop dusted apples. Lightly funky with yeast and sherry/cardboard notes. The flavor is creamy and woody like a rum soaked fruit cake. The finish is nice and balanced, unique, not sure what to think, this is my first. Wring some sherry out of a cardboard box, age, yeast, hops. yum!

Sep 7, 2005 a sim rate: (Bottled at Paradise Beer Weekend, Brussels 2005). Not as sweet as usual faro. Tastes like marmite. Sugar/spicy aftertaste. Quite nice to drink.

Sep 3, 2005 Vintage 1998: (I don’t think faros are meant to age this long!) Very thin bodied, no head, weak in all regards. Complete wast of time.

Jun 28, 2005 Updated: Mar 23, 2007hmm, i thought i was drinking a thin watery sherry. brown colored with no head. aroma of sherry, oak and sweetish. taste: sherry, woody, bit sweet and sourish, no lambic detectable. almost no carbonation and a thin body. maybe it was a little too old, 4 months over date. i will try too find a fresh one and re-rate it. (5-3-5-3-10). Re-rate: A fresh one is much better. Better earthy and lemony notes, you can actually taste the lambic.

Jun 27, 2005 Courtesy of Pailhead. Pours reddish color with no head. Aroma is all vinegar without much else going on. Flavor very bland and oxidized. Looks oily but mouthfeel is very thin and watery.

Jun 16, 2005 (Bottle 25 cl) Light brown, no head to speak of. A lot less sweet than other Faros I’ve had. This has a very pronounced, underlying lambic-sourness. Spicy with some citrus, but also apple-notes - and a sophisticated vinegary touch. But actually very balanced and quenching. Stronger than a typical Faro - Frank boon also calls this a "Dubbele Faro". 091197

Jun 5, 2005 Updated: Jul 8, 2005Vintage 1998: Pouring a pale caramel color with a film in lieu of a head, this had only the faintest of sweet aromas, difficult to pin down. Very watery, it frankly had too little of a flavor to be either pleasing or offensive. The finish is watery and lighty sweet. Not very impressive. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eve Fest at Delilah’s, Chicago, IL 06/04/2005<font size=-1>
