A deep dark brown ale, veering on porter colour, with a thick moka head. Smells of Oka cheese, bleu, with light tracle and fruits. In mout, a really sour and astringent beer, with unpleasant cheese notes, very lactic (as the name implies), a bit of rubber and organic materil. I like sour beers but this one is....uacala!!! Bottle from Probstk, bought at brewery... 10$/bomber.

Bottle-Pours a murky deep brown with little carbonation. Nose is of fruit (sour apples and grapes) and funky blue cheese with a bit of earthy woody components. Tart, sour grapes flavour with wood and blue cheese with some sharp manchego cheese finish. Acidic and medium bodied. Tough to place as I enjoed the concept and even the cheese components at time, but I really can’t see myself drinking much of this at any one time.

Aroma is Parmesan! WTF?! Dark brown, red at the edges. Taste begins with a sour/tart, fruitiness, then somehow there is that cheesy aftertaste? I love cheese as much as the next person, I even tried this on another occasion, it’s just not a very good rendition of a Flanders Brown. Thanks for trying.

[715-20070928] Tap @ C’est What 2007 FOSB (Toronto, ON). Smells like stinky feet or blue cheese, mostly parmesan and apple. Dark brown black body with a small long-lasting creamy off-white head. Sour initially, flavour is parmesan throughout with a generic cheese aftertaste. Medium body. REALLY weird, points for trying something strange -- it’s great if you like sour cheese (*cough cough*). (4/4/4/2/10) 2.4

[779B-20071021] Cask @ Volo Cask Days 2007 (Toronto, ON). Fresh blue cheese and parmesan cheese aroma with a hint of boozy malt. Dark red brown body with a medium-lasting creamy light tan head. Sour parmesan cheese-flavoured malty bread with a slightly nasty sour aftertaste. Sour medium-full body. Nice temperature -- wow, what a difference from the first tasting! (6/4/5/3/11) 2.9

This is waste matter from the plant and not fit for bottling. A Frankenstein of an experiment. Hey, if something works it’s good, but an experiment gone horribly wrong, dump it. Looks like vampire blood and that brown stuff in the glass. The taste is creamy cheesy and then whoh! aroma is rotting something in clothes. Taste of horrible cheese remains for hours. I drank very little before dumping the bottle..and my glass out.
