UPDATED: JAN 25, 2011 On tap at Delirium, found in a notebook from a while back. Poured a dark brown with a light brown head. An interesting aroma as it is dry and tart with an undertone of dark malts. Flavor is dry, tart and fruity again with the undertone of dark and roasted. Reminded me of a great example of an Old English Porter with the clear tart and dryness.

16/03/2012 Brasserie 4:20 (tap). Bruna con riflessi mogano/rubino, abbastanza limpida, schiuma quasi assente. Al naso bretta, note di ciliegie, caramello, acetone. In bocca è acetica da morire, con lievissimi sentori superstiti di ciliegie, frutta rossa, note dolciastre, maltate, finale aspro, molto astringente. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Si salva al naso, ma in bocca è ai limiti dell’imbevibile.

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.

Unangenehm saurer Geruch nach saurer Gurke, krass störend. Saurer Antrunk, der im ersten Moment fast so schlimm wieder Geruch ist. Im Mittelteil gibt es kaum eine Änderung, erst im Abgang wird die saure Note erträglich und fast angenehm. Wenig bis kaum malzig, die Säuerlichkeit wird holzig. Ein extrem eigenes Bier, dem ich nicht übermäßig viel abgewinnen kann. 12/9/6/7//8

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.

At De Dolle, a treat sorted out by Chris I think it is? Whatever, a treat. Ta for the holiday Mes, Sim, Harrisoni. Dark brown with a small tan head. Great smell, fruity and sour and soy sauce. Unique, very unusual. To me anyway. Very tart and sour, fruit, almost a wine like quality. Thanks for the treat everyone. A special beer.

Deep ruby brown with a small tan head. Aroma of coffee, berries and funk. Dry and tart chocolate and roasted malt flavour, with a lasting aftertaste of coffee

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.

in liquid form At RBESG 2010 Rome ... deep brown ... thin tan lacing ... woody chalky roast malt ... little choclate nose ... light tart but not sour ... loads of chocolate ... decent enought but not me.

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.
