Bottle. Rating #500. Pours cloudy amber coloured with a big foamy off white head. Aromas of pepper, oak, balsamic vinegar, vanilla, lemon peel and caramel. Flavours of yeast, wood, spice, semi tart, caramel and balsamic vinegar. Delicious brew.

Pours amber and cloudy with no lasting head. Smell is tart, sour and vinegary. Taste is slightly bourbony, slightly tart and sour. Vinegary but watery. Interesting beer, but not something I’d go for again.

(Bottle, batch 130/131, oak aged for 21 months, purchased at Ölbutikken, Copenhagen) Hazy amber colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Acidic, sour and tart nose with notes of oak wood, vinegar, dried peaches and hints of citrussy hops coming through after a while. Sour, fruity, acidic taste with citrus (grapefruit, lemon), orange peel, balsamic vinegar, oak wood, spicy coriander hints and citrussy hops coming through in the finish. Dominated by oak wood and acidity leading into Rodenbach territory, but with citrus and hops balancing it quite nicely. Rather extreme and complex beer with surprisingly good balance. Lovely stuff!

It is hazy, red amber with a small, creamy head. The aroma is sour and fruity with notes of oak and spice. The flavour has a light sweetness, sourness, notes of malt, fruit, oak, caramel, light spice, yeast and the finish is slightly bitter and dry. Even if this nor normally is my kind of beer, this one is refreshing and OK.

Bottle. Creamy white fair mostly deminishing head. Orange colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Very sour and moldy. Moderate bitter flavor. Very long acetic spicey finish. Vanilla and cinnamon present. OIly palate. More like a sour ale with christmas spices. Very strange beer.

Bottle. Pours a golden honey body with a white head. Chewy dry brett, and honey with a light vanilla and a hint of scotch like woodiness. Vinous and bretty delicious.

This poured a bright cloudy yellow orange color with a big white head. Aroma was sour citrus notes, hints of spicey hops, and bourbon as well. Flavor was medium sour and fruity, with nice sweet traces of bourbon and maltiness. Very interesting.
