Shared with Pyrozoid @ L’autre Oeil

App.: Dark brown/ruby highlights, thin frothy off-white head

Aromas: Candy sugar, red wine vinegar, plums, brown sugar

Palate: Medium/full body, lightly acid, nice mariage between bitter and sweet

Flavors: Long lasting flavors, plums, grapes and brown sugar

Notes: Surprisingly little or no alcohol notes for a 10% brew.... Fantastic. Reminds me of a flemish sour on steroids.

Bottle, 10%. 7 months past BB date. vinous, grainy aroma. Hazy orange/brown colour. Small tan head. The flavour is quite sweet with a clear note of alcohol. Vinous with a refreshing, but perhaps malplaced citric finish. As it warms, it comes out much more malty and well-balanced.
