What can I say, this has got to be hands down my favorite beer that I can actually get access to at least annually. This beer truly blurs the line between wine and ale. The 13% is brilliantly disguised. Aroma of red wine, vinegar, cherries, candy sugar, and sweet malt. Excellent mouth feel, full bodied but far from cloying and rounded out by nice oak tannins. Taste is wonderful with dark fruits (cherries), red wine, oak, and candy. Again the tannins from the barrel and tartness from the yeast combined with the sweet malt provide an amazing combination of flavors!

Sep 4, 2008 33 cl, brewed in 2007, bottled 2008. Opaque chocolate brown with a large head that settles to three-quarter inches of lasting cream, leaving nice frosty lace. Aromas of soured light fruit and cider vinegar, musty leather, and dark fruit. Flavor is dominated by vinegar and tart cherry, with almost a hint of raisin and brown sugar. Medium body is smooth and creamy, with an acetic acid tingle and dryness.

Sep 3, 2008 Pours deep chestnut brown. Aroma is sour apples, dark fruit and typical Belgian yeast, in great form. Flavor is tart with vinegar, red wine, cherry, and oak. A lingering acidic finish is nice, and gives way to lots of rich cheese. Where is that 13%???? This is awesome.

Sep 3, 2008 @004 Bottle via sloth. I figger that he keeps on sending me all these funky Belgian thingys and I innundate him with stouts and crap from my travels. Pours a brown tinges with ruby and has a greenish tan head that settles to ring the tulip well. Nose is of heavily caramelled malts and wet oak with a hint of apples. Body is light to medium and quick. Tartnes swiftly breaks to two distinct levels on the the tounge and merge for a sour apple finish. Not raly my cup of te but i realy enjoyed the 180 nose to body twist.
