Oct 6, 2007 Pours a murky brown. Spicy cinnamon, brown sugar and green apple on the nose. Not as tart as I remember, but very well balanced anyways, with a good dose of brown sugar balancing out the tart green apple character. A hint of earthy funkiness appears prominantly on the finish.

Sep 28, 2007 Pours a clear but very dark ruby with a light tan head off an aggressive pour. The head falls fast. Nose is a beautiful combination of wood and cherries. Flavor is a great sweetness combined with firm cherry tones. The wood character really meshes with everything else so well that it provides the perfect punctuation. Feel is great. The bubble still kicks me in the back of my mouth after it’s lingered in my mouth for a while. Overall a great drinking experience. Elegant and smooth and well made. Very well worth trying out and having more beyond.

Sep 25, 2007 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 22 Sep 2007) Dark reddish brown colour with firm pale brown head. Malty, slightly sourish nose with notes of wood, chocolate and black-currant. Malty, lactic taste with black-currant, dark fruit, cherries, hints of smoke and a bitter-sweet finish. Balanced and nice flemish sour.

Sep 2, 2007 0.25 l bottle. Mahagony color with small tan head. Sweet and sour aroma with toffee, licorice, cranberry, vanilla, vinegar and meat broth. The flavor fairly sweet but still balanced by acidity. Disdinctive licorice and vanilla note. A bit too sweet.

Aug 30, 2007 11.2 Oz Bottle via footy. Sugar and heavy vinegar aroma. Weighty and wet. Some nice berry acids float up. Not stinging. Definite balsamic tones. Reduced strawberries, candied cherries, and light plum juice. Pours a very royal crystal clear deep garnet and ruby, tinged with a hue of mahogany. Light rim of beige foam forms on the edge. Flavor is pretty mellow. Immediately there are some sharp aceto-notes, but then it washes into some watery sugar. A bit of berry brandy and light strawberry juice, but not much density, sourness or character. Edges more towards a straight fruit than anything wild and crazy. Malt carries some weak caramel that plays with the lightly acidic body and the berry sugars. Not nearly wild enough for me. A bit bland, but clean and dryly finishing. Rather calm.

Aug 26, 2007 250ml bottle erupted all over worktop. Cola brown and fizzy with a solid beige head. Intensely vinous snout packed with cherryish fruit. A dab of vinegar. Sharp and guezey until a chocolatey roasted malt undercurrent kicks in. Plenty of oak. Interesting

Aug 14, 2007 Pours a dark amber with a small, fluffy light tan head. Sweet acidic sour aromas fill the nose, funky cherries come to mind. Hints of mustard too. The taste is very acidic, very fruity sweet also. Big cherry or raspberry flavor is most dominant. I’d say cherry was the stand out. Not cheek puckering sour, but enough to warrent a flemish sour style. Fruity, sweet finish and aftertaste. Pretty good.
