decaturstevo (1971), decatur, Tennessee, USA Jan 19, 2008 An amber pouir with a gooey lace. W very sour cherrry aroma and a hint of cinnamon. A very sour flavor as well that is very black cherry. Slim palate but pretty good mouthfeel. Pretty good for the style, a style I like more everytime I try it. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jan 10, 2008 750 ml(10/07)(courtesy of a shared bottle with RSRIZZO)-A huge off white head on a dark amber body. Aroma of sourness and tartness. Taste of the same. It fits the style perfectly. Interesting beer to try but not my style. mabel (2530), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 10, 2008 [921-20071205] 750mL. Strange toe jam yeast aroma has a bit of sweet apple booze. Hazy, amber brown body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. More apple booze and a little sour tang in the flavour. Medium body is sour. Interesting to try. toncatcher (228), Santee - SAN DIEGO, California, USA Jan 4, 2008 On tap at the NEW Liar’s Club in Alpine. Pours a cloudy amber with a nice white head. Aroma of sout and tart light fruit, apples, pears, and grapes. Flavors of rfreshing sourness, tart cherries, grapes, granny smith apples. Very nice. padrefan98 (787), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Jan 4, 2008 First one of the night for me at Liars Club in Alpine. From the tap. Very nice poor with colors of reddish to brown, and some light white frothy head. Very good! Outstanding drinkability. lachesis (759), St Idesbald, Belgium Jan 3, 2008 Thanks to Chris Lively from Ebenezers Pub in Lovell Maine for sending us this great and tasteful brew. Slight hazy red copperish in collor with a beautiful off white head. Aroma is complex and crispy-refresching. It has touches of sour oxidized apples, hints of peachpit, apricots and sour reine claude plums. Also a fine touch of wood, and wet birchwood. Taste is complex and very well ballanced. It a medium body and a good tart bite that goes well with some hints of cookies (dry) and a fine layer of bitterfood drenched in orange juse. Aftertaste is quite long and eazy on the pallet. I enjoyed this beer very much, thanks Chris. NicerInPerson (337), North of Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Jan 1, 2008 #07 1693
The aroma was tart and magnificent with an acidic presence which was fruity and nicely contained a bacterial presence. The aroma had some semblance of Brett but also other buggy infestations and a tannic characteristic of oak and perhaps wine. The beer poured into the glass crystal clear amber/copper with a beige slow growing, yet moderate and everlasting head which lasted forever to lace the glass. The flavor was tart with a fruity characteristic. The flavor was oaky and sweaty and had a horsey nature that was very sublimely achieved. The tartness was light and refreshing and did not detract. The finish was dry with light tartness and fruit lasting into the aftertaste. The body was medium and the beer was highly carbonated and spritzy on the palate. A really nice Oud Bruin, excellent aroma and great flavor. Many thanks to the guys from CARBOY for bringing this one back to me.
750 ml corked and bailed bottle. BigMilly8 (374), Holiday, Florida, USA Dec 30, 2007 Rating #200
From bottle, Number 07-6723, courtesy of Valpoaj : Pours a very dark color with red highlights, and a big ole’ huge foamy white head. Awesome lacing. Sour fruit aroma, green apples, some grapes. Taste is very nice. Sour and tart, but allows a very smooth and mellow finish. Medium bodied, no signs of alcohol. I dont think it is over carbonated as some others have said, atleast not my bottle. Very very nice beer
