Bottled. An unclear brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries, straw, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of red berries, and malt, leading to an acidic bret’y finish.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Bov. Slightly hazy warm amber golden with a tan head. Sourish, woody aroma. Medium body with distinct notes of wood. Quite acidic all the way through leading to an astringent finish. 280907

From 75 cL bottle, thanks to Papsoe. Pours hazy brown with a light off-white head. Lovely dried fruit and slight acidic aroma. Flavour is slight citric and lovely caramel sweet and slight roasted. Dried fruity. Nice acidic finish.

Bottled. Hazy brownish colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is sourness and some bitter fruits along with nuts and overall quite brutal. Flavour is sour fruits nicely balanced up with some wooden hints. Way better than the 2005 one in my opinion.

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2007 Bottled. Cloudy amber, average sized beige head. Lemony lactic aacidity and dry white wine up front. A bit slimmer and more vinous than the 2005, but less woody and soapy. The moutfheel is rounded and spritzy. Low on hops, but intriguing and interesting. As always from BFM a very unusual beer.

Bottle. Hazy orange red coloured with an off white head. Fruity and light acidic aroma of wood, vanilla and spices. Light acidic flavour of wood, vanilla and red wine. Tart finish.

Brown color; the head quickly reduces to few floating islands. It´s a classic BFM: good body, caramel flavor, and the typical sourness, that gives a fruity touch too. The aroma develops some light cigar too, leather, chocolate. The flavor is very dynamic. Some chocolate also in the final. The alcohol perfectly complements this solid brew. Very good.

Dark amber with atiny off white short lasting head. Sour aroma with roasted malt, caramel nd lacto notes. Flavour was vinious with plenty of lacto, roasted malt and overripe fruits. Finished sours.quite delicious.
