Mar 25, 2006 Updated: Aug 5, 2008DRAFT: big tan head, brown chestnut color. Abso-fuckin-lutely beautiful nose of wood, cherry-rhubard sourness and funky fine yeastiness. Roasty nut flavors intertwined with oaky wood and sweet chocolate...candy bar-like at times with that mysteriously quenching brett finish. Is this the perfect beer? I’ve heard mixed feelings as far as the bottled version. Fuck it though.

Jul 28, 2007 750. Aroma is absolutely divine. Every time I go to take a sip, I am stopped short by the pure bliss entering my nose. Cinnamon, clove, clover, and very light sugar. White wine. Fresh baked bread and tart cherries. Wow. Like Rodenbach, but much more refined and complex. The taste is chewy and pure, cascades of tart fruits -- strawberry, raspberry, gooseberry, peach -- sit atop a brown sugar cookie. All of it dressed in 50 year old balsamic vinegar. Supremely refined and stunningly presented. Fantastic! Thank you, whoever sent this to me... sorry I can’t remember who! It was a treat indeed. This is going right back on my wants list, though I have a feeling I may not be seeing it again.

Dec 2, 2007 Tasted from bottle from cquiroga at 2007 Pizza Port Strong Ale festival. Huge thanks Chris! It’s hard to read my notes (some cursing, kick ass beer, etc.. apparently I liked it a lot). Cloudy. Great aroma. Super easy to drink. Excellent. Can’t wait for Red Poppy (the new Le Woody Brune) to be released in Spring.

Jul 2, 2007 Bottled, thanks cquiroga! Pale brownish amber, no head. Acidic lighly oaky strawberry aroma. Dryish with soft malt and gently sparkling mouthfeel. Complex flavour of wild strawberries, vinegar, oak and blueberries. Vinous with near Cantillon-like acidity. An ultra superb beer that left me speechless.

Apr 7, 2006 On tap at the 2006 Pizza Port Belgian Fest. The Flemish sour pours a medium brown color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is tart, woody, cherry, fruity and vinous. Medium bodied Flemish Sour. Malts are fruity, sweet and tart. Lots of cherries, lots of wood, some funk as well. Damn this is a mix and match flavor bonanza. Nice balance though and a very nice crisp dry finish. Excellent beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is tart and slightly bitter
