Dark brown colour with no head. The aroma is of plums, figs, dark malts and port-soaked wood notes. Light body. Slightly acidic finish, but the flavours overall are quite sweet with notes of plums, brown sugar and wood. A little bit uneventful, though - this is a simple beer. That said, still pleasant and perfectly drinkable.

Bottled: Reddish brown coloured. Quite clear. Fluffy beige head. Berries and fruit in the nose. Quite sweet. Flavour is overly sweet for a flemish sour IMO. Is very smooth and easy to drink, but lacs some acidity and sourness, I think. Ends on a sweet and berryish note. Too vague in the aroma and flavour for my likings.

Nice dark brown colour with a small head. Aroma is a litle bit sour, typically "Vlaams Oud Bruin" Old brown beer. Taste is smouth, hint of sourness. Smouth and refreshing beer.

Reddy mud brown in colour with a short tan head. Mild nutty aroma with some berrie notes. Sweet nutty flavour with an oaky vanilla dry finish. Thin, slightly acidic feel. Ok.

(Bottled) Clear, deep dark red color with hardly any head but some lace. Sweetish, slightly tart aroma of fruit juice and raisins. Sweet-malty, fruity flavor with some sourness and acidity in the background. Light to medium-bodied, fizzy-carbonated and a bit watery palate. I really want to see the person who loves this beer...
