40oz (182), Newport Beach, California, USA Aug 12, 2002 User_Ex ordered me a bottle of this stuff while at the bar at BJ’s in Irvine waiting for our table; my taste buds were just beginning to recover after the 2 hour car ride back from Stone’s VI anniversary festival. Fruity, musty aroma with a hint of bubblegum. Earthy, spicy, lactic (balances hint of fruit sweetness well), almost saison-like, taste. This stuff evokes images of Belgain barnyards. Delicious.
JoeinUccle (689), Brussels, Belgium Sep 28, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown with thin tan head. Sweetish caramel-malty nose with very faint tart-fruit edge. Fairly sweet beer, lightly bitter, again a very subtle vinous tartness. Lively carbonation, a bit dry in the finish. Pretty flabby stuff, not much oomph. dwyerpg (2094), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sep 26, 2008 A little lactic in the aroma. This is okay at best. Very smooth and light overall. Not nearly as sour as I expected. A bit of lactic. porterhouse (954), Alna, Maine, USA Sep 26, 2008 (330 ml bottle from Bootleggers, part of a Petrus sampler pack) Something’s amiss...Pours very dark tobacco brown with about two fingers of sturdy tan head that recede to a thin lasting cap. Aroma surprisingly very muted, maybe some caramel malt sweetness but really not much. Mouthfeel nice and soft, quite smooth. Nice big weepy rings and curtains of lacing. Flavor is very washed out. Main element is a lightly fizzy sourness which could mean infection, but even beyond that I’m not picking out much for flavor, maybe some light chocolate nuttiness but it is faint. Surprising. DuffMan (1962), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Aug 24, 2008 Hazy copper brown, moderate white head. Sour aroma with sugary undertones. Sweet malt with caramel becoming evident as one’s palate adjusts to the dominant tartness and acidity. Quite refreshing. rustychiles (480), Mesa, Arizona, USA Aug 2, 2008 Pours a nice brown with a small off white head. Aroma of fruits, wood, malt, sourness. Flavor is sour fruits, with a sweetness to balance it out. Pretty decent brew.
