[ Vintage BBF 2008 ]. Alc. 5.0%. Clear medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate brown sugar, cheese, oxidide notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light light acidic with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100702]

A red beer with sediment (even though it is best before 2063) floating around and hints of a fast disappearing head. The aroma is of flowers, lavender, and sugar. The flavor is of sugar and yet sour - but the sourness tastes more like the beer is too old, than that it has been wildfermented - weird. I’d say this was too old.

(Bottle 25 cl) Light brown, no head to speak of. A lot less sweet than other Faros I’ve had. This has a very pronounced, underlying lambic-sourness. Spicy with some citrus, but also apple-notes - and a sophisticated vinegary touch. But actually very balanced and quenching. Stronger than a typical Faro - Frank boon also calls this a "Dubbele Faro". 091197

Bottle, 5%. Sweet, acidic and vinous aroma with some fruit/berries. Dark amber colour, seems clear. Sparkling. Small white head. The flavour is citric and slightly sweet. Moldy with a rough, old tasting bitterness. Thin mouthfeel. Not too pleasant at first, but it gains a little after a while.
