3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottled, 8% ABV) Hazy dark brown with a large, firm but quickly descending head. Vinegary-tart nose with caramely maltiness. Flavor is also somewhat tart (infected?), but the caramely maltiness is quite dubbel-like. Not too sweet, but maybe some vegetably notes. Medium body, soft and low CO2. One could call this spoiled, but in some strange way I found this quite enjoyable. 4255

0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Bottle:
This smelled so bad that I got nauseated.
Sour smell and infected. Completely different smell than beer, like bad wine that went sour.
Color is brown amber and a small white beige quick disappearing head.
Taste is disgusting. Sour vomit like taste. No hops, no body no balance.
I have never in my life thrown a beer away, but after a couple of gulps this went through the toilet.

30cl Bottle from a gift pack, Monnikbier 2009, ABV 8.5% if I recall correctly. Clear deep reddish brown colour, creamy beige head. Sour and oxidized aroma, papery cinnamon, sour fruits, red wine. Flavour is light malty, sour, dry, some dark fruits. Medium bodied, lively carbonation. Heavily infected, I found this to be undrinkable.
