Non saprei, speravo che fosse piů complessa (vedi Gulden Draak), invece si dimostra l’ennesima birra rozza e scracagnata degna giusto del bucaniere mezzo orbo che si trova in etichetta. Alcool sovrabbondante, poco altro; una noia mortale.

Pours an opaque purple-ish brown with massive bubbly tan head. Classic flanders sour brett aroma and flavor. Medium body with large carbonic prick. Actually, this is pretty spot on for what I expect from a sour ale, even though it’s not really my cup of tea.

Surprisingly, my favorite beer sample at Stone that day; aroma was very caramelly with fruit and cherries. Remined me a bit of Luden’s cough drops, in a good way. flavor was similar, and was slightly sweet with a good fruit/cherry flavor. golubj also gave it a 3.8, noting the sweet caramelly goodness and a very nice palate.

small bottle. Hazy deep amber in color with a huge head, dissipates but the small head that’s left retains well. Aroma is full of brett, light sour cherry, caramel and spice. Initially the aroma is metallic but that subsides a bit. Taste is bretty, with light sour cherry in spots, caramel, light soap here and there, and light spice. Light to medium body, with only a faint hint of the alcohol in the finish. Not bad, but a bit oxidized....

Tap @ Ebenezer’s Pub in Lovell Maine. I’ve seen this bottle a lot but didn’t really know what it would be when I ordered the glass and it was tasty. Pours dark amber with a tan ring. Nose is sweet. Taste is sweet and fruity with a touch of barleywine feel.
