33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. JN18/08.[br/][br/]
App.: Very deep black with hints of brown, moderate tan head.
Aroma: A bit of molasses and brown sugar, lots of ginger, black licorice, some clove and other warm spices, a bit of black coffee, slightly minty, tangy truly an odd and eclectic aroma
Palate: Medium+ body, soft effervescence, slightly slick and astringent.
Flav.: Tangy acidity, plenty of ginger, vinous, some molasses and licorice, a touch of leafy hops quite tart and slightly bitter, with a touch of coffee that lingers with the tartness.[br/][br/]
A bizarre brew with very unexpected flavours and aromas. Unique, but not for me.

Oct 3, 2008 330ml bottle, dark brown color, with a thick beige head, sweet toasted, roasted malt nose, with a hint of spicy licorice, gingerbread, with some winey, oaky accents, and a sourness note in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, winey, oaky character, with some fieldberry sourness, hints of black chocolate and licorice spiciness with a
faint roastiness, leading towards a fruity, winey, coffeeish finish.

Jul 12, 2008 33 cl bottle, ’bbe’ Apr 09. Very dark, shiny ruby red with a small, lacy coffee with milk head. Nose of plum jam, oranges, dark chocolate and yeast. Some lactic acid becomes apparent later. Sour-sweetish taste with fruit (hint of raspberry) and scorched malts . Round finish with a gentle burnt bitterness. Surprisingly refreshing and light bodied for such a dark brew with burnt tones.

Jun 24, 2008 Bottle: Poured a clear black color ale with a big foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma consists of sour notes with the typical Thiriez yeast. Taste is also dominated by some sour notes with a light roasted malt backbone. This is a really weird mix, i.e. a dry stout mix with Flander red, and I am not sure if this is really working. Average body with OK carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Interesting but not sure I would buy this consistently if it was available around the corner.
