ironchefscott (220), long beach, California, USA May 6, 2008 bottle that says 1986 on bottle cap....lost almost all carbonation....and sourness...very sherrylike and not washed out...but not very much going on complexity....everyone around me loves it...what do I know?
austone (263), Pori, Finland Jul 20, 2008 Murky ruby, small beige head. Vinous, sourish aroma, raisins, red currants and a hint of Funkadelic. Dried fruity, tart flavor with berries, little syrupy maltiness. Acidic, sharp finish. Nice and interesting for sure, but I just don’t find it as complex as the legend says. Madsnp (102), Vinens Verden, Slotsgade, Denmark Jul 10, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown with a nice light brown head. The head is quickly turned into a thin film. Aromas of apples, cherries, vinegar, dark fruit and sweet sugar. Flavours of cherries, cane sugar, vinegar and raisins. Very drinkable. A little like Duchesse de Bourgogne.. Ober (214), Best, Netherlands Jul 7, 2008 A hazy, dark red/brown colored beer, with a beige head. The aroma is sour, dark fruits, with some malty bitterness. The taste is complex. It’s a little sour and some sweet. A little chocolate with cherries. There are no cherries in it. It’s full of flavour. A very good Flemish Brown. azlondon (461), Greater London, England Jun 30, 2008 Appearance: Dark brown, slightly red. Nice amount of head. Pretty longlived.
Aroma: Earthy, bitter grains. Dark fruit?
Taste: Fruity, bittersweet. Bit of sourness. Not too bad.
