I had this one out of Joris’ cellar, it was from the early 80’s - which makes it around 20 years old. The aroma was sour with good fruit notes. The color was brown with a lot of sediment floating around. But the flavor was absolutely fantastic, it contained notes of wood, plums, and old cherries. A fantastic treat - thank You, Joris.

Clear amber with a tiny white head. Sour aroma with wood, leather, sour cherriesa and barnyard. Flavour was quite sour with sour cherries, wood, barnyard, leather and lacto bacteria. It finished sour. Surprisingly good.

Pale reddish colour and somewhat flat appearance. Some medicinal notes on the aroma. Tart, somewhat leathery but with a firm woody medicinal quality. Dry, nutty finish.

(375ml bottle) Pours a clear reddish orange body with a small white head. Aroma of wood, cherry, and light horseblanket. Flavor of cherries, funky, light green apple, and some citrus with a dry wood finish.

Bottle at WSF. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Tart and fruity nose with lots of dust and earth. Dry and sour end. Good.

Red, golden, orange colour with a small white head. Weak cherry aroma with leather and solvents. Very tart, fruity flavour.

1987 bottle, courtesy of Joris Pattyn. Thanks, friend! Red brownish brick colour with no head. Lightly acid with flower perfume in nose. Smooth acid, with almost herbal qualities and light resinous illicit qualities, fungal. Smooth and blended, with perfect marriage of flavours. Wow!
