Bottle sampled @ Freakin’ Frog, LV. Garnet colored beer with a small tapioca head that left nice ringlets of lacing on the inside of the glass. Aroma is brown sugar, dark fruit, caramel and Belgian yeast. Flavor is toffee, molasses, cherry skin, and biscuit. Also has an almost brett-like sourness which adds to the complexity. Nice mouthfeel and highly drinkable. Really enjoyed this one.

BBE 11/08. Murky ruby brown, lacing beige head. Nose is vinous sourness, rust, dry fruits, earth and spices. Berry vinous flavor, port wine, earth and strong spices. Nice sourness. Quite dry finish with little alcohol. Medium to full bodied, foamy and smooth carbonation. An interesting, Oud Bruinish brew.

UPDATED: NOV 7, 2010 330ml bottle. Clear mahogany, thick coat of beige head. Aroma of dried fruits (currants, prunes, muscatels), dough, leather, spices (cloves, cardamon, vanilla, galangal, pepper). Creamy mouthfeel - the carbonation combines with the slight syrupiness very nicely. Fleeting big sweetness with lots of dried fruit and some brown sugar; then quite spicy bitterness and a little passing sour/ brett yeastiness. Surprisingly brief finish has spiced fruit and drying wood. Pretty well-hidden alcohol. A little bit of rather welcome acidity creeps out about halfway down the bottle - I liked the balance more as it warmed. [3.9]
330ml bottle. Gusher. Dirty brown with a large dense beige head that laces extravagantly. Aroma of dried fruits, acidic pineapple, leather/ doughy funk, ginger, cardamon, pepper. Smooth, lactic mouthfeel. Some overt alcohol. Fruity sweetness and yeast overtaken by quite a lot of acidic pineapple. Finish is drying but mostly astringency fighting yeast. A little chocolate and wood right at the end. Recognisable as the same beer as last time, but this is a _very_ different bottle. Engaging.
