Feb 7, 2008 275ml bottle (One Pint Pub, Helsinki, Belgian Beer Week 2008)
Deep reddy brown, loose bready head. Sour berry aroma, some odd vegetable tinge perhaps, and some butter and dust). Decent carbonation, which heightens the sharpness of the sourness, also quite sweet and fruity. Upon swallowing the flavour broadens out into a massive mellow maltiness. Sweet malty finish. It’s not too sweet, but one notch less sweetness and this would be an absolutely perfect sour brun.

Feb 4, 2008 RB BE #400: 25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden amber to deep maghoni with a creamy/crispy light brown head. Cherry fruity, light woody and dried fruity aroma. Flavourful, slight woody, dried fruity yet fresh from the cherries. Sweet, yet not overly so. Finish holds a nice dryish and very controlled sour note to a distinct fruity note. Nice

Feb 3, 2008 Dark walnut appearance with a large, dense, well laced, beige head. Tart fruit aroma with earthy, woodsy characteristics. Taste is sweet and sour, fruity, acidic, vinous. Just sits on the palate so well. Long lasting, acerbic finish.

Jan 28, 2008 yum. cherry vinegar aroma, dark cherry wood and a full white head that fell to a solid covering. sweeter than other sour ales, strong syrupy base with sour highlights and smooth finish.

Jan 27, 2008 bottle. pours a deep mahogany with a thinnish off-white head that fades quickly. smell of sour cherries, red licorice, balsamic vinegar, and oak. sour cherry and woody taste, some carmel and bready malts. the sourness is assertive and starts in right away, not leaving you much time to wonder what it is you’re tasting. lingering oaky taste in the finish. medium body, a bunch of carbonation, sticky mouthfeel that comes from the puckering sourness. this has become one of my new favorite styles, and i think this beer is exemplary. not quite as deep a flavor profile as duchess, but quite a bit more sour. i’ll definitely drink this again.

Jan 25, 2008 11.2 oz. bottle at Teresa’s Next Door, Wayne, PA. Poured deep ruby with scant head. Appeared undercarbonated, but maintained a complex mouthfeel. Flavor consisted of tasty tart fruits. Big fan of these offerings from Verhaeghe.
