Tasted blind. Bottled. A dark golden beer with a bit of sediment floating around under a lazing orangey head. The aroma has notes of straw, malt, and dusty hops as well as a bit of citrus. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, citrus, and dusty hops as well as lighter notes of wood, leading to a tart finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Cloudy light amber color; creamy head. The aroma smells bad, manure. Dry mouthfeel, dry caramel flavor, with earthy touch, manure; yeast; astringent in the end. Not nice.

Cloudy dark amber color; big head, creamy. It has a harsh aroma, quite typical for BFM, with a sourish character, woody, maybe fruity too (bitter citrus fruits, bergamot), cork, Belgian style yeast. The promised fruity character is more evident in the flavor, but surpassed by the BFM character: very bitter and lightly sour, yeasty; there is caramel flavor too, medium sweet; bitter oranges; a pleasant touch of black and white pepper. The final has a strong bitterness. Not an easy beer. Very good.

Hazy amber with a medium off white head. Aroma had yeast, spices and fruity hops.Malty and yeasty flavor with spices and hoppy hints. Finished dry and yeasty.
