Draught @ ZBF 2009, St.-Niklaas, Belgium.
Clear medium to dark red brown color with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to beige head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, caramel, sour berry, moderate wood, roasted malt. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet, moderate acidic and bitter with a long duration, and a bit salty. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. That is a very nice beer, for me the best of Zythos 2009 ;0)) keep up the good work ;o)) [20090307]

Draft. A brown beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of bread, wood, brettanomyces, caramel, and vinegar. The flavor is acidic with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a tart finish.

On tap. RBESG Rome 2010. Pours a hazy deep orangey golden with an off-white head. Tart and very sophisticated aroma of wood and honey with a tart edge. Medium body, has a light whiff of hard roasted malt, but it’s the massive sourness and acetone that dominates. Maybe the starting off point was a Porter but the result is much closer to a Flemish Red. 030610

From tap at 4:20. Pours dark brown with a deep amber glare and a huge tan head. Aroma is citric and fruity. Dark roasted malt too. Solid lacto, citric and dark malty flavoured. Berry fruity touch. Light wooden note. Slight acidic burn into the far finish.

Draught at ZBF 2009. Hazy orange brown coloured with a medium sized off white head. Light acidic aroma of milk, lactic acid and acetone with notes of wood. Light acidic flavour of lactic acid, wood and acetone with roasted notes. Tart finish.

Draught at ZBF09. Sour aroma, quite bad, and seems infected. Muddy dark brown colour. Big stable light brown head. Fortunately, the flavour is better. Quite acidic and fruity, some raisin and strong lactic and lemony acidity. Very interesting. Tastes good, but in small doses.

RBESG 2010, draught at Brasserie 4:20
Dark brown color. Strange aroma, sweet, dusty caramel, good body strength; sweetish caramel flavor, with light fruitness and decent sourness. It lacks some freshness in character to be really appreciated.

Clear mahogany with a medium beige head. Sour aroma with sour berries, lacto, roasted malt and balsamico. Sour flavour with balsamico, lacto, sour berries and roasted malt. Finished sour.

Draught @ 4:20, Rome. Pours black with a smalll creamy white head and lacings. Coffee, glogg, red wine, balsamic vinegar, cherries. One of the weirder Dolle brews. Interesting in fact!

Sampled at Zythos 2009. The beer that was everyone lips from the beer festival. Hazy dark brown colour. It’s an old ale. Lovely sourness. Really lovely sour green apple. Very interesting sour Flemish beer. Really surprising and pretty good.
