Quite dark brown, with reddish shine; huge fluffy head, irregular, going in patches. Bit burnt nose, ironlike smell, as in blood. Revolting extra aroma, like something rotting. Bitterish start, then some sweet and yet an unnatural sourish finish, lactic. Thin and watery mouthfeel. This is infected, no doubt. Sad. Question is, who brews it these days?

Sep 5, 2008 33cl, brew with ’gruut’, from Geers Oostakker, complex brew, not balanced, hazy, good head, nice brew
Borresteijn (582), Amstelveen, Netherlands
Jul 20, 2008 On tap @ Café Quibus. Clear ruby brown colour, off white head. Aroma of dark fruit, raisins, brown sugar. Taste is also brown sugar, some raisins. A bit watery, but soft taste. Nothing special.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Pivni Galleri, Prague.
Pours a beautiful, clear mahogany with a nice, staying, frothy beige-grey head. Sweet, fruity aroma, lots of prunes and plums with a touch of metal and chocolate. A bit thin mouthfeel. Flavour is rather dry and roasted, some clear metallic notes, some slight chocolate at the end. Tolerable, but not very good for its type.
