(33cl bottle thanks to bu11zeye) opaque dark brown, long lasting tan bubbled head. Nose of cherry, pipe tobacco, wet wood, funky and manure. Taste is decently tart, dry black cherry, pipe tobacco. Palate finish is tingly, cream, and dry. Not bad!

Bottle: Deep amber to black coloured with ruby sparks and a small and stable off-head, moderate sourish ( balsamico), toasty and molassy nose; moderate sourish-sweet flavour, quite soft,light to medium bodied; lingering sourish finish with many traces of balsamico and toasted malt. Very good…

200ml Sample at Bierkultur Festival in Köln-Ehrenfeld. Appearance is opaque, dark brown color with small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma is mild with yeast, caramel, fruit, and dark malts. Taste is mildy sour balanced with a strong fruity sweetness, caramel, yeast, and a slight citrus bite. The story of this beer is the superb balance. The wild sourness is mild and well matched with the sweetness. Palate is full-bodied, very smooth texture, light carbonation, and a tart finish.

33cl bottle shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Slight gusher, pretty good considering what we’re used to from Alvinne (see Alvinne Gaspar). Opaque dark brown, small to medium sized beige head. Aroma only has some sourness. Taste light to medium sour, very balanced and pretty nice. To me it’s a surprise, I quite like it! Medium body and soft but suitable carbo.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 Kristall-König (1624) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - APR 6, 2012
Recht starker, säuerlicher und malzröstiger Geruch. Startet sauer. Mittig malzig, Röstaromen, prickelnd und weiterhin säuerlich. Abgang schokoladig, röstig - die Säure bleibt auf gleichem Niveau. Nicht wirklich schlecht, kann meines Erachtens aber nicht mit einem Rodenbach mithalten. Da fehlt es an Substanz.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Benjii (2328) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAR 25, 2012
In bottle. Pours a dark brown colour with a thick light tan head. A lovely sour aroma of lemon, sour-dough, toffee and oak. A very nice Brett character coming through in the flavour also. Musty wet cardboard, chocolate, lemon and dark malt notes. Heavy carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Delicious!

It’s dark brown with beige head. It’s not complex but the flavour is surprising and good. Sour aroma of berries and chocolate, Acid-full flavour of berries and roasted malt.
