(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm) Dark ruby colour with lasting, frothy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with wild berries, ripe cherries and some dark bread. Fruity taste with notes of cherries, wild berries, hints of dark rye bread, almonds and a touch of oak. Sweet and slightly sour finish with a touch of cherry stone bitterness. Not very daring and slightly too sweet for a sour ale. Still, definitely drinkable.

bottle. The head is fading away fastly. Dark Red/Brown colour. Chestnuts, Dark Fruits, Raisins, Sweet, Mild bitterness, cola. It’s a great beer if you see the 5% ABV, but it isn’t a very complex beer. Nice beer with a label from the Belfry from my hometown Bruges, to be proud of! And to drink when you don’t want a too big alcohol fever.

Bottle, 33 cl. My boyfriend got it from the local Delhaize. Amazing smell of chestnut and a pinch of caramel. Taste is nice as well: doesn’t taste at all like alcohol, caramel and fruity. Lovely!

Dark coloured beer with a small head. Very fresh aroma. Flavour is sweet but not overpowering sweet and a bit acidic. Medium balanced, good but not great. (Bottle 25cl)

(33cl bottle) Almost clear, reddish brown colour with a big and lacey beige foamy head. Sweet and dusty, slightly soapy malty nose. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Toast-malty taste with light notes of caramel and a rather subtle berry-fruity and minimal acidic and tart touch. Mildly toasted and faint sourish fruity finish with a tinge of metallic hops. Drinkable brew but rather disappointing as a Sour Ale (01.III.09).

Bottle at Plan B. Dark brown body, with a medium beige head. Aroma is fruity, candy sugar and malt. Flavor is a bit sour but also sweet. It ´s a bit waterish.

Bottle at Plan B. Dark brown body. Medium beige haed. Fruity aroma with wine like notes and a bit acidity. Flavour is the same with some malt in there. Bit spicy as well. Bit too thin on the palate.

Dark ruby with a lasting off-white head. Caramel and malt aroma with a hint of metal. Dry caramel and butter flavour and high carbonation.
