Bottle shared by faroeviking. Pours reddish brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is fart, rotten vegetables (udkogt blomkål) and brett. What? Some sugary and sweet malty notes. Really stinks! The flavour is very vinous with notes of dark fruit and molasses but then kicks the rotten vegetables. For fucks sake. What happend here! Everything was insane and creepy here but he palate was great. Overall this was a disaster....

pours a deep deep brown with good tan head that stays around - aroma yeasty sour citrus . taste much better than aroma - a touch of sweet qucikly changes to a citrusy slight sourness with caramel undertones offset very well by teh fizzy carbonation generating a pleasant mouthfeel . long finish slightly acidic but nice . pretty good beer would have again .

some time some where probably De Molen Fest ...deep brown ... bubbly tan head ... softe toffee malts ... fizzy ... roast malts ... light sour toffee malts ... juicy roast.. over fizzy ... sour woodyness
