Apr 17, 2009 Bottle 33cl. This well know beer remains mysterious to me. Taste is ugly, acid presence and very dry. Fore some people this is the best beer of the world, for me it’s just undrinckable.

Apr 16, 2009 Buckets of head. More head than I know what to do with. (My immature girlfriend is snickering.)
Taste of plastic and dryness. Some clove and spice. Overall a damn weird beer. Very dry, some interesting flavors, but not worth the trouble to find them.

Apr 16, 2009 Pours a hazy orange color with a thick & chunky off white head. Smelled of spice and rich malts. The flavor tastes of fruit/citrus adding an acidic quality. Also lightly spicey and peppary. Finish is rather acidic. Very well done.

Apr 14, 2009 So I finally got around to trying this one. Pours a surprisingly deep orange, with a huge fizzy head that settles quickly to a little less than a finger. The aroma is fruity with juuuuuuuuuuust a touch of funk. Very clean and almost sharp initially, with a lot of light fruitiness, mellowing out, and finishing very dry. I like it. Has lived up to expectations.

Apr 13, 2009 love this one. bottle was aged 5 years. pours hazy amber with a huge head that sticks around. aroma is sweet sugar, dried red fruit, leather, rich malts, and a little smoke. drinks sweet apple and candied red fruit and spice up front and finishes with a nice malt caramel and spice. fantastic with age!

Apr 13, 2009 Believe I may have gotten an "off" bottle. Aroma was sharp with a hint of metallic. Flavor was similarly tainted with a dry finish that served to accentuate. Will rerate.

Apr 12, 2009 ~11mo old bottle. Pours hazy copper with a humongous head - at least 3 fingers. Aroma of sweet and sour fruits. Flavor is apple, cloves, some citrus, a little chalkiness. Hard to pinpoint precisely all of the flavors in this beer - it’s very complex. Not quite as good as other bottles I’ve had - I think it’s better around the 4-5 month range. Will have to re-rate this one.

Apr 10, 2009 11.2oz bottle. Pours light brown with a massive white head that seemed to stick around forever. Welcoming aroma of sour fruit and yeast gives way to a spicy, dry, complex flavor. Palate is medium bodied, astringent, and moderately fizzy. Delicate aftertaste of floral hops. A world class unique beer.
