lovely wrapped bottle. pours hazy brown with a nice beige head. aroma of sweet lemons and leather. complex tart fruitiness, rasperries, currants, sour cherries. lemon curd like sweetness. pithy bitterness is just slight enough to add to the beer rather than ruin it. delicious.

Wow. Very bitter fruit flavor. Absolutely no carbonation. Wonderful fruit aroma - cherries. This beer is very complex. Refreshing as well.

Bottle conditioned, cork stoppered. Ruby red-rusty brown with moderate condition but no head. Good aromas of caramel and oak with a suggestion of tartness that is confirmed in the mouth along with a taste like cream soda mixed with blood. Full bodied and tart finish with a backdraft of alcohol.

sweet creamy malts with some sour cherry nose. Lots of sediment, maroon. Nutty Carmelness. I could drink this for an eternity.

Slightly milky amber coloured beer with a small head. Sour Rodenbach like aroma. Old sour fruity taste with a hint of port wine.

I was expecting the best brown beer ever... they said that much... what I got tasted, smelled, left an aftertaste just like a Gueuze... if I was expecting one, it wasn’t half bad, but I wanted a brown ale.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
The beer pours a dark cloudy brown, the head is minimal, the lace is quite tenuous. Nose is vinous, fusel alcohol, over ripe fruit. Front is sweet, the top light, the finish is sharp, tangy, astringent, lightly hopped, just the way a ’Flanders Red Ale’ should be. Ranks #348 on my current 1000 beer master list.
