Infinitely complex in aroma and flavor with notes of maltiness and tartness throughout. An unsurpassed old brown with the richness and complexity of a vintage wine.

Reddish brown pour with plenty of bubbles and floaties. Nice thin head of lace. Aroma is slightly sour, earthy. Nothing exceptional at all. Flavor is very mild. Slightly sour but very blah.

Light brown colour. Sour aroma, acid, berries. Aroma has something gueuzish: sour vinegar, acid, ... Sweet flavour, mixed with coriander, spices and plums

Amber coloured with some carbonation and an average off white head. Very fruity, malty aroma, little acidic, very special. Full body. Finish is very enjoyable, little sour and very fruity again. This is a very good beer.

Truely my favorite beer in the world. Drank a 1988 cellared one a few months ago. The sourness had mellowed out. No head. Very dark as compared to a recent brew. A true symphony of flavors in my mouth. Only problem...they dont sell this in Nashville!!!

Paper wrapped, 375ml bottle. Pours red/brown, dark, with a good amount of head. Smooth, slightly sour but subtley blended well with yeasty and bitter flavours. Very refreshing...this is the most "sessional" Flemish sour I’ve had. I wish I’d picked up more of this when it was available around here. Stupid me, Beautiful stuff.

Good fruity aroma. Large frothy light brown head. Good lasing and mostly lasting longevity. Cloudy body. Heavy bitter initial flavor, with a long duration. Palate medium to full. Oily texture.
