2 years old. Bottle. Special procurement. Dark amber colour. Muddy. Loose head. Barnyard aroma and some foot. Earthy nose - lots of bugs and cheese. Very low carbonation. Earthy, funky, and ultra cheesy palate with a sweet & sour finish. Excellent balance, crazy funk. Very rustic and scrumpyish.

Jul 2, 2008 Cask 17B 2007 @ Spuyten Duyvil. Poured a lightly hazed gold with no head to speak of. Nice Bretty leather with some sweaty notes. A mild sweetness in the aroma and flavor. It was ok but didn’t do a whole lot for me.

May 21, 2008 [1157-20080301] Cask. Aroma has a hint of cheese, otherwise mild sour maltiness and musty hayloft. Clear, medium orange brown body with quick bubbles, no real head. Vegetable (tomato?) mild yeast flavour with some bread notes. Medium body. Drinkable, good.

May 8, 2008 Interesting drink. Hand-pulled from the cask at Belga Queen in Brussels. Bright copper color with a persistent layer of white bubbles. Nose is rusty and musty with big grapefruit tones. Flavor is tart, tangy and grapefruit-citric, mildly bitter and smooth, and low acidity. Bitterness fits oddly with that tartness. Quite soft.

Apr 30, 2008 Cask at Engelbewaarder. Hazy wheat colour. Really sour nose. Almost toxicly strong. Did notice some pineapple. Really sour.
