BFM Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien 2006

Formerly brewed at BFM (Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes)
Style: Sour Ale
Saignelégier, Switzerland

Thanks to Joebrew for the taster. Cloudy reddish brown color with almost no head. Dark berries amid the funk and yeast on the aroma. Sour cherry and oak on the body.

Pours almost completely still with a nose of wood and soft oxidation inspired oloroso notes. Herbal and biscuity on the palate with a soft moldy dark fruit note.

750 ml bottle shared by Padrefan98 in the Lost abbey release party line. Aromas were sour and acidic. Flavors were similar. Dark fruits were evident as well as some earthy funk. Pretty good

Pour is hazed ruddy amber with a big bubbled tan head...smell is tart and woody with cherries, oak, and yeast...taste is sweet and lightly fruity with cherries and pears and a hint of peach...then some light tartness takes over...pushing away the sweetness with a nice woody funk...clean lightly tart finish...excellent!

Shared at Cleveland tasting 3/15 Bottle: Pours a murky copper with a tan head. Aroma, brown sugar, molasses, some sourness. Flavor, sweet with a tartness, sour cherries, some yeasty notes, alcohol was well hidden. Good stuff.

Shared at Lost Abbey Angel Share Bourbon Release line tasting. By far one of my favorites of the morning. Smelled of cherries with lots of sourness. Tastes of sour cherries and almost no alcohol. Very good.

Copperish to red in color. Nice size head. Very appealing in the look. Sweet and sour in the aroma but in a great balance. Some acidiity. A touch of alcohol. Cherries in the smell and taste.

You know that episode of MASH, where Henry gets the new desk? And he keeps asking Hawkeye, Trapper John and Radar if they know what kind of wood it is and they say "oak," only for Henry to say "No, its oak."? This beer - it is OAK. OAK, OAK, and more oak. The woodiest beer since I don’t know when. Strange, sour fruit, cherry skins, totally retronasal assault. Bombastic. How do they pack 11% into this thing? OAK. OAK.
