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 from 2004. Brown hazy body. Huge lasting light brown head with good lacing. Fruity aroma, nuts, caramel and basement. Thick, creamy texture. The flavor is sweet, none bitterness but some sour finish.
