Bottle at home, cap popped too easily ... deep copper ... rich sweet toffee malts nose... tart sour ...

Bottle from Chemins de Bretagne, Paris
Dark brown color. Sourish aroma, woody, caramel, sour fruits, bread. Good body strength; caramel flavor, with a good woody tartness, vinous; solid. Excellent sour Ale, probably unwanted, but lucky.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a hazy reddish brown with an off-white head. Tart, woody smoked aroma. Lightly watery with tart woody accents, low in carbonation with a hint of smoke. It’s probably not intentional but somehow it reminds me of a Flemish Red and it’s quite interesting. An infection that ended well I presume. 190209

Botella. Unclear deep red brown colour. Fruity tart malty aroma. Sweet tart bit smoky fruity and maltish slightly salty flavour.

Bottled. An unclear brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and acidic with notes of fruit and berries. The is acidic malty with notes of berries and over ripe fruit. The finish is dry and tart.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a small white head. Sweet fruity aroma with a mild roasted malt note. Mild smoked, fruity and slight citric too. Citric and fruity flavoured with a distinct smoked note. Sour finish. Unusual.

Not much head on this dark orange body. Nice aroma, fruitys hints but rather malted. Nice drinking

This beers pours orange and hazy, but right away I noticed that it didn’t form much head and the cork sort of fizzled out. The smell is very nice, with a rich leather and oak tones. Unfortunately, on tasting, it was waay undercarbonated. I might have kept it a bit too long, it got forgotten... The taste that I can decipher is quite pleasant, a light citrusy sweetness with no bitterness whatsoever. I will seek this one out again for a second chance.

Sampled at Le Sois Bock in Paris, France. Dark Red. Heavily aromatic with notes of chocolate, nuts, plums, figs and sugars. Moderate tartness. The dryness on the palate and the wood and sherry notes leave me to believe that this beer could have been aged in oak. Notes of plums and cherries among other things. Lingering and very enjoyable.
