33cl. bottle. Cola-like color with some red highlights and a small head. Mild vinous aroma with hints of cherries, oak and some metallic notes. Nose was quite subdued. Flavor starts off sweet and malty, with some caramel and oak before turning mildly tart with a vinegar-like taste. Flavor is kind of muted, with an off aftertaste that reminds me of a copper penny. I get that metallic, copper, blood taste in many Flemish sours, and I normally enjoy it, but not with this one. It isn’t really that bad, but I really like a good sour beer and was hoping this one would fill the bill.

Aug 16, 2008 The color is red-brown and the head is creamy. The aroma is sour in the right way and it has notes of malt, berries and wood. The flavour has both sourness and sweetness, and I find notes of caramel, wood, berries and hints of vanilla. It’s a really nice one.

Aug 14, 2008 33 cl. Clear, deep ruby-chestnut with a creamy half-inch head that lasts and laces well. Aromas of tart berry, molasses, caramelized tomatoes and light malt vinegar. Flavor is tart berry sprinkled with brown sugar, raisins, malt vinegar, and molasses with some leather and wood. Light-medium body is tartly dry and nearly too fizzy.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle: Pours a maroon/ruby with a brown hue and a creamy tan head. The aroma has some dry yeasty notes- mild oak, sweet & tart fruit suggestions (cranberry), dust and mild acetic character. Light fell on the palate. The flavor has a mix of sweet and tart fruitiness (cranberry, mild passion fruit), as well as earthy qualities of oak/wood and dry yeast hints. Not a very complex example of the style, but not bad.
