Bottled@Fonefan. Deep amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is quite sour wooden and also some quite madeirawine like notes Flavour is sour wood, some dry resiny notes as well as some mild vanilla. Aroma indicates of quite big vintage, flavour is again very mellow sour ale like. No BBE on the bottle.

Bottle, 25 cl. Thx to VACAS, owner of the Bierloods. A hard to find beer, brown color with reddish shine, and a off-white creamy head. Aroma touch off woods, sweet and sourness. Medium body. Taste reminds me at Vichtenaar, have caracteristic from this brewery, it is not to sour or to sweet. Hints of wood. G O O D !

Sampled at Low Countries RBM 2005.
Thin light tan head, unclear amber reddish body. Sourish cream and berry aroma with a sweet malty middle. Flavor of berry and malt with a nice sourness and notes of joghurt as well. Not the typical sour ale, but still smooth, soft and tasty.

LCRBM: Lovely red hue, brown when away from light. Nice sherry aroma. Vineous flavour with great berry notes. Smooth, Nice.

Sour wooden aroma, earthy strawberry notes. Red colouring, low ead. Berrylike and wooden flavors -balsamico, light belgian yeast funk. Medium to light body. Lovely.

Balsamic and syrup nose, lush amber-brown color, low lathery head. Sour, raisin maly, caramelly with brown sugar. Berry notes. Fully body, long complex profile.

At the LCRBM - thanks to Carlo - Earthy woody nose, also balsamico but light. Great balsamico and prunes and plums taste. Medium long lasting, round and gourgeous! RERATE: Little film head, nice red colored. Besides the balsmico a nice mellow cassis taste comes through too. Thin bodied.
