I must have a bad bottle. Smells like raisins soaking in cider vinegar. The flavor is so strong with vinegar I did something I rarely do; drain pour. On a sour. Damn. I LOVE sour beers, but this tastes like absolute shit.
The one positive is the color. This is one of the most beautiful beers I’ve seen. Deeeeeep mahogany. Wow....if only the aroma and tasted didn’t fall so short.

Dec 8, 2009 dark red to brown with thin head. Aromas of grapes, banana. Hints of pears, chocolate and oak in the taste. Nicely carbonated and very refreshing

Nov 29, 2009 Pours an iced tea brown with thin white head. Aroma has loads of brett with sweet strawberry, balsamic, and a hint of caramel malt. Flavor is tart of cherry, yet sweet of strawberry and white grapes. Not as funky as I’d anticipated or hoped, but the tartness is pleasant.

Nov 27, 2009 Good looking brown beer with with a red glow, foam is off white in colour. Aroma is fruity with hints of caramel and appel. Taste is malty, slight sour, it has some wine characteristics and some soft roasted hints too.

Nov 23, 2009 Pours a dark mahogany color with a thin tan head, viscous, nice lacing... Aroma is quite vineous, with big notes of cherries and woodiness... Flavor is more complex with oak, cherry, vanilla, moderate tartness, vinegar... Sweet, with a dry finish, kind of lively, not very funky... Too Sweet for my tastes...

Nov 15, 2009 23rd July 2008. Clear dark red brown beer. Slightly sour in the Duchesse Du Bourgogne mode but this is tamer and much sweeter. Sweet and sour semi dry finish with some coca cola flavours. Refreshing.

Nov 4, 2009 I really loved this- tasting just like the Duchesse, this beer is thick, sugarry, and sour. Barnyard flavors- hey and earth, plums, wood. Bottle from Knightly Spirits, Orlando.

Nov 2, 2009 25cl bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a chesnut brown colour with a reddish sheen. Beige long lasting head. Vinous nose. Aromas of sour cherries, toffee, strawberries. Quite tart. Flavours of sour cherries, red wine vinegar, stewed apples. Finishes fruity and sweet with only a hint of sourness. Excellent sour ale almost as good as Rodenbach’s wonderful grand cru.
