3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
750mL bottle. This is the most basic type of Flanders Red, should go for like 2 euro over in Europe. Dark brown color. Aroma is dirt and ash. Flavor is faintly musky dank dark malts. Not that bad but very unimpressive, I am glad I was not the one who dished out on this price tag.

Bottle at Stone’s Sourfest. Pours with a brown body and minimal head. Aroma of tobacco, sour, wine and flowers. Taste is raspberry, tobacco and chocolate. Not super sour. Feels big.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle from Bierkompass.de. Deep dark brown color. Vinous aroma with grapes, cherry and oak, like a fortified and matured Rodenbach Grand Cru. Odd mix of dried fruit with coffee as initial flavors, challenged and conquered finally by an upcoming tartness. Vinous flavors, oak, cherry, roast, tobacco. Extremely complex and the balance is questionable, but this beer is so good.........

750 ml bottle @ redlight redlight. Chocolate aromas with hints of tartness with tart raspberry aromas. Pours dark brown with reddish hues. Much better as it warms up, sour raspberries and dark cherries with some vanilla and some roasted malts with hints of milk chocolate. Not quite sour but its still pretty good!
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
5th March 2010. Pre ZBF. Opaque black beer. A little sour coca cola on the nose. Dry palate but not overly so. Very curious taste. Milky coca cola with a nutty tone. Pretty sweet but also sour! Not a bad beer but just a bit odd.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Bier Tempel, Brussels. Almost black with a small beige head. Vinous aroma. Vinous flavours meet fat chocolate, hints of cheese. A bit sticky. The chocolate and the acidity does not really marry, but absolutely drinkable nevertheless.
