 Beer_2000 (1195), Kristiansand, Norway
Jan 20, 2008 250 ml bottle. Red/brown body with almost no head. Quite fruity aroma with cellar notes. Flavor is dry bitter, a bit acidulous, with notes of caramel and dry fruit. A bit strange, traces of elements from a lambic, and also something from a Belgium red. Definitive a Belgium beer, harmonic but not usual.

May 16, 2007 Updated: May 31, 2007Light caramel-coffee-hop aroma (typical belgian double), dark brown colour, hazy with stuff floating around, a minimal head (might be because I served it a bit too gently), with a surprisingly fresh taste tending to light sweetness/medium bitterness.
For a dark beer very fresh and no heavy sweetness.

Apr 6, 2007 Updated: Apr 10, 2007Bottled, original from Vanderlinden at least 20 years old, probably more. Cloudy amber, small airy head. Citrusy and vinegary lambicish nose. Very dry with lots of barnyard. The Brettanomyces is very evident. The body is light and the mouthfeel still lively. The acidity reaches near Cantillon-style levels. It is starting to thin out, going on it’s last few years as an alive beer, so it has a slight metaliic edge. Still it’s beauty is there, and the flavours are intense and complex.

Jun 8, 2006 Bottle. Brown color with a beige head. The taste is a sweet caramel and malty body with a thin and slightly watery palate.

Sep 15, 2005 Best before 07/2004 - sampled 07/2005.
A dark brown beer with a thick light brown head. Sweetish aroma of malt, chocolate with earthly tones. Sweet sugary flavor with some sour hints behind the sweetness. Brown sugar notes. A bit old and fusty in the taste. Like sugar water..... I really don’t know what to think about it......
