Mar 9, 2009 Glass from an awsome decanter straight from the barrel at the stuise farm with urban, this happened to be the 25yr old vertion and what is also urbans first ever beer. Aroma is blessed with elegance, its subtle floral tartness, its sherry maderia caramel, the fruity cherry sour character is just breathtaking. The taste follows suit, its delivers everything iv ever wanted in a beer, its like the beer that was made for me because its the way i wanted it. Its just amazing, i stood smiling watching this big bastard god slap itself in the face with its ears and just smiled chuckling to myself the whole time i had this. What do i say?

Mar 1, 2009 Samnpled at the Struise Farm from Urbain from a wine decanter in September 2008. What a wonderful 5 year old treat. The beer poured a hazy orange color with nearly no head. The aroma of the beer had nice notes of fruit, cherry, and some wine like qualities. Slightly sour. The taste was the real treat. Although 5 years old the taste was very present. A nice cherry quality, not to acidic but had a good sour quality. There were some definite wood notes as well. I found there to be an excellent balance of the sweet fruit and the tart character as well. This is one very drinkable and well rounded beer. I just wish there was more to go around. I wanted to run with the decanter and drink it all but that would not be good form for a guest at the farm! Seek this beer out if you can find any.

Feb 17, 2009 Auch bei diesem Struise Bier stand mir nue eine geringe Testmenge zur Verfügung.
Dominierend säuerlicher Geruch. Säuerlich fruchtig-hefiger Antrunk, ausgewogen, leicht störend holzig, hintergründig nach Kirschen. Milder werdend, wenig herb. Im Abgang wieder säuerlicher, minimal bitter. Ein Sommerbier.

Oct 31, 2008 Bottle, 7% at LCRBM08. Very good citric cherry aroma. Cloudy, slightly milky dark red colour. Very nice cherry flavour, the citric notes are more lemony than expected, and arrive quite late. Low carbonation.

Oct 30, 2008 Updated: Nov 2, 2009Bottle@LCRBM08. Wow! Marvelous beer. One of the very best of the session. Aroma has cherries, a bit wood, some wine. Cloudy, orange-brown coloured with not much of a head. The taste is slightly sour, fresh, has cherries, citrus, oak, some tartness. Complex and well balanced. Compliments!
On tap @ 1st BBF, de Molen. rating remains the same. Fantastic sour ale.

Oct 28, 2008 Bottle @ LCRBM 08 #1600 Rating: What a suprising treat. Poured a hazy reddish brown with a pinkish head that only formed at the edges of teh glass. The aroma is sour cherry and funky. The taste is sour cherries, but not over the top to the point that my mouth puckers. More soothing to allow its full enjoyment. It truly was WoW from first sight!

Oct 27, 2008 Updated: Nov 1, 2009Syphon, kindly provided by Carlo and Urbain @ LCRBM 2008. I couldn’t get my nose out of the glass. Sherry notes in the very vinous aroma. Malty, sweetish, amazingly complex flavor. A slight sourness. Oak, laurel, cherry, mustard, butter. Tough to describe the multiple layers of flavors and aroma’s. Just in one word: WOW!
At the 1st BBF @ De Molen I had the possibility to taste another sample. A bit mouldy perhaps, but this beer was again superb!
