From the bottle.
Explodes out of the bottle with a geyser of brown foam, pouring caramel brown with a tan head into my glass. The aroma is a somewhat unpleasant, almost infected-smelling, dominated by malt vinegar. The flavor is actually not half-bad: less vinegary than expected from the aroma, bits of grape bubblegum, some cherry lambic, a bitter woody finish. The palate lies well on the thin side, to the point that one is a little disappointed with each sip.
Curious mix of flavors but otherwise mediocre.

Jul 2, 2008 Pours a murky brown-maroon color with thin tan frothy head. It has a light sweet chocolate and phenol aroma. Smooth body with a slight stickiness. Caramel and chocolate flavor with some tart cherries and a light spiciness. The tartness is unexpected and makes me wonder whether it was a bad bottle or a flemish influence. Drinkable but lacks depth.
