DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Mar 15, 2006 Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 30/09/2005
Mid brown coloured with sour fruit aroma. Crisp on the palate with a slight roast flavoured finish. Rastacouere (5270), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 25, 2005 Hazy dark brown pour covered by basically no head at all. It plays in the acetic and chocolatey department, possibly trying to hint at the Belgian oud bruins, and along the way suggesting oak notes more typical of red ales, all the while spending some time with figgy and grapey entertainment. Rather short flavour strikes as rather simple, yet remaining pleasant at what it’s there. Light and thin body, vinegary sour, watery and peppery. Doesn’t seek to far, but focuses on its strengths.
