2007 Vintage Blend 1. Aroma has a strong skunk scent to with some fruit in the back. Why the hell did they put this in a green bottle. Color is a solid orange brown with good carbonation and a thick head. Taste is tart and tangy. Starting with a medium body it goes down fizzy. Finish comes in with a fruit cider tartness with a faint oak flavor. After taste is a sour twang. Its a bit funky but at least there’s no skunk in the taste.

The aroma was full of dark fruit, allspice, a little nutmeg and light roast. The beer poured a thick cloudy brown color with very thick lasting head and light lace. The flavor was fruity, allspice, light clove, nutmeg, and plums. The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied with a lot of carbonation.

ughh...im tired of JP"s beers...deep chesnut body/brownish red with minimal head..aroma is, as usual, much more pronounced and enjoyable that the flavor..very flemish-like, with hints of vinegar, raspberry, sour funk and must...oaky flavor with unpleasant hints of wet socks..like you are harboring a damp basement in your mouth...somewhat offensive..stone, slate, chalk...who wants that? I am starting to wonder why this brewery is so well-regarded...

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of FlacoAlto. Clear amber golden with a dense and lively lacing beige head. Tart Brettish aroma. Medium body, a little low in carbonation. Fruit and woody accents but also an astringet phenolic finish, that isn’t overly pleasant. 190608
