Grumpy Troll Flanders Ned Ale

Thanks again Steve for sharing this one. Dark brown pour with no head. Aroma was caramel, fruit, and some tartness. Tasted much like the nose. Had more malt than was expected, still had some tartness to it, and finished in a wierd way. Nice brew.

Thanks to Steve(flanders ned) for bringing this out to our tasting. Dark brown with minimal head. Aroma is fruit, caramel and nutty. Tart fruit flavor with some good malt backing it up. Has an odd, grainy finish. Someone said it was like corn chips. Decent brew in any case.

On tap at Grumpy Troll. Poured clear garnety-amber with no head.. nice color to it. The aroma picked up sour cherry vinegar upfront with touches of green apple.. syrupy darker fruits beneath.. off-putting, but it was definitely aligned with the description. The flavor had tart cherries and apple cider upfront with lots of berries behind.. finished sour with ample vinegary acidity. Sour on the palate and on the dry side.. odd feel and flow.. definitely smelled better than it tasted.

(Draught) Pours an amber-brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of cocoa, roasted malt, nuts, cherries, toffee, and some apple. Flavor of caramel, roasted malt, cherries, white grapes, and some sweettarts with a dry finish.

GABF’08. Brown colored beer. Aroma is very vegetal, like corn fermenting type faint sourness. Its weird and I did not enjoy it all that much. Taste is a but better with some roast and rotting cherries. Either way it seems to not hit the mark for me.

G.A.B.F. 2008: Deep copper/brown with a dense khaki head.The aroma has some toasted malts, cocoa, mild nutty notes and raspberry. Has a flavor that’s both tart-ish and toasted. Mild cocoa, toasted vanilla, tart raspberry like notes and other nondescript fruitiness. Pretty nice stuff.

tap. Big small bubble head. Mild sour aroma. Some oxidation. Medium to mild sourness. Easy to drink.

Cloudy dark brown colored body with a tan head. First smell suggest Oud Bruin - nuts, oak, light funk, some lactic milk notes, small notes of almonds and toffee as well. Sourness is mild, mostly a soft note of creamed cherries underneath a toasted bread crust and bran malt profile. Turns to dog food and sour bread in the finish, turns quickly into something difficult to drink. Frothy texture but medium to light body.
