| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Dirty dark brown with just a bit of head. Big sour aroma. Fruity at first with a big sour punch. Raspberry with caramel sweetness. Feels nice on the palate despite the low carbonation, it still has a bit of a soft fizz. Acetic acid/vinegar present finishing dry with the taste lingering. Has a really nice dried fruitiness. Feels as though it has some belgian strong ale influences in a very nice flemish sour. larsniclas (3386), Gothenburg, Sweden

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 26, 2008 Bottle sampled at the Kulminator: poured dark reddish brown with 2 fingers of tan head. Aroma is tangy, sour, and malty. The hops didn’t seem as bracing as Pennepot Reserva which I had drank earlier, but the tanginess and sourness was more present, and was truly a thing of beauty. Flavors are very vibrant, really malty and sour, in a way that provides balance. Excellent.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 15, 2008 750ml bottle thanks to bierkonig.....a dark brown, very muddled pour that was almost porter-ish in appearance which was topped with a wispy tan head.... an interesting nose consisting of soft caramel malt, sour tart fruits (namely cherry), and wood....a nice balancing of flavors betweet the sweet and tart with much of the emphasis being placed on the sharp acidic and vinegary tart cherries.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 6, 2008 Drunk to celebrate my rating number 9900. A dark red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has sweet berry notes combined with acidic notes of brettanomyces, and wood. The flavor is lovely acidic with an underlying sweetness - and it is very complex with notes of berries, wood, brettanomyces, prunes, grapefruit, and mold. The acidity lingers on the palate and back of the tongue. Nice one. Thanks Carlo for this bottle.
