Bottled. ahazy amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of pumpernickle bread and caramel as well as light notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet mlaty with primary notes of caramel, but also a light note of spices. Thanks Alex (fiulijn).

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a cloudy, orangey brown with a tall, off-white head leaving some lacework. Aroma of roasted malts and yeast. Rather full-bodied with plenty of roasted malt and fruit and a whiff of yeast. Rather subdued bitterness with a vague, underlying tartness. 270707

Bottled, thanks fiulijn! Cloudy mahogany colour, rich firm head. Vinous nose with some dust. Sweetish with medium body. Soft and mildly woody, fruity and lightly yeasty. Rather sweet and almost without bitterness. Likable and fairly easy going.

Bottle, thanks to Alex. Hazy orange red coloured with a huge off white head. Light acidic aroma of malts and roasted malts. Light acidic flavour of malts and caramel with roasted notes,.

Dark amber to brown color; big head. Nice malty aroma, woody. Malty taste, dry, astringent, malty, a bit sour. Quite complex.

Bottle shared with Phil_l. Reddish brown colour with slight sour aroma. Like a wooden box that has contained fresh apples, 3 hours after you’ve taken the fruit out. Bit of red cherry. Lovely aroma, smooth in mouth. Then lovely balanced finish of malt cherry and sourness, perfect balance. Bit of boiled sweet. Bottled 02/05, consume within 24 months. Well balanced beer, great finish.

Spectacular pour. A nuclear off-white head tops the opaque chestnut hue. It slowly diminishes, leaving generous lacing all around the glass. Unexpected nose which can’t really be voluntarily. Brettanomyces triumphed in teir insatiable sugar quest. Hypothetically, the proximity to barrels of the Panil Barriquée have eased their hunger’s aspirations, but the nose is kind of vinous, wild mushroomy, plummy, yet moderately juicy. Obviously quite dry in mouth, letting musty basement and light papery/inky mettalic off tones dominate the otherwise fruity, cherry-like esters and mildly roasted malts with vanilla undertones. Finishing with strong moldy, cobwebs like dustiness. The mouthfeel has interestingly not suffered much from the bacteria, it remains medium-full and natural, filling thanks to a rich and not too agressive carbonation. What can I say, sometimes an infection is a trait I enjoy in beer. I would(will) drink again.

Bottled. Hazy reddish brown coloured. Very yeasty aroma and flavour with notes of fruits, malt and vegetables. Bland.
