| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 22, 2007 750 ml. brown, Belgian style bottle. Corked & caged. No freshness date. Maybe not the freshest sample because it has very little carbonation to it, and it tastes kind of weird. Aromas are of cardboard, some dried fruits, funky Brett, burnt cookies. Flavors are metallic mostly. Has a nasty aftertaste. chicagodri (1057), Chicago, Illinois, USA

On tap@O’Brien’s: The color of prune juice with a purple tinge and just a wisp of foam that fades to a halo. Aroma is red wine and a wiff of banana. Flavor has a light sweet start with some spice and yeast, some port a hint of bubble gum and banana with a tangy dry finish. Light to medium bodied and smooth with lively carbonation.

Thin amber light brown in color with a small tan bubbly head. Nice smooth candied apple smell with light caramel notes in there too. Sweet flavor of doughy bread and sweet malt. Mouthfeel is fitting for the flavor. Drinkable but not on the top of my list overall. Just a bit more alcohol than I wanted to notice. jredmond (1040), New Jersey, USA
