Bottle shared at tasting. Poured a cloudy dark brown. Aroma of malt, fruit, yeast. Some roasted aromas. Taste is a little sweet with more fruit and yeast. Finish is smooth and interesting with mix of malt roast and hops. Overall, a solid and unique brew.

Bottle - 330ml. Hazy amber body with average carbonation and a thick off-white frothy head. Sharp hoppy aroma with fruity hints. Nice hoppy/fruity taste that ends with a long bitter/sour finish. Good stuff.

Bottle (330ml). Via trade with boutip. Bit of a gusher ... hazy deep coppery amber with a huge lasting fluffy white head. Sour aroma, a bit like a fruity Petrus - sharp dry yeast, pungently floral, but mostly lemon and sour cherry, redolent with sweet/sour sugary malt. Taste is like a lemon/cherry sour drop - sweet in behind, yeasty, but mostly sharply sour - I don’t know if it’s supposed to be like this, but I like it. Light body, nice and acidic, sharply carbonated - it’s sour right to the end, but leaves a fruity/candyish aftertaste. Refreshing.

Bottle shared with French Ticker and Pyroziod. Golden, cloudy with a light head. Aroma: sour candy, grape fruit, crab apples, pear. Flavor: rasberrys, peach, apples. Palate: fizzy with a dry finish.

Bouteille 33 cl. Dégusté avec french tickler et Agaguk. Biere de couleur brun foncé brumeuse avec un moyen collet moyennement collant. Odeur de cerises, alcohol, sel de mer, citron et jus de pomme. Un peu surette. Saveur de pommes, sucre, cerises et pemplemousse.

Dégusté a l’autre oeil avec Pyrozoid et Agaguk. Couleur peche/ambré muqueuse avec un collet beige mousseux. Bouteille explose lorsque ouverte. Arome de framboise, pain, levure et petite pomme verte. Surette, un peu sucré et tres carboniser. Corps moyen et finition un peu crémeuse. Saveurs de concentré de framboise, pomme surette et rhubarbe.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2012 Bottle from Craft Beer Base. Great, complex, and subtle nose: chocolate, cherry, and light vinegar. Just a bit sour. Flavor very disappointing, though. Chocolate and lightly sour but very bland. Far too fizzy as well. Interesting, but very different to my old ratings, so I will put this new one up.

From the bottle in Paris, November 2006. 7/4/7/3/15 Rather dark reddish brown. Opaque, with yeast. Not a very big head. Fresh aroma of malt and yeast, chocolate, figs, raisins. Nicely roasted. Slight caramel sweetness, but more dry. Coffee. Subtle overall, with a dry hop and roasted malt finish. Lasts a while, though not really strong. A very interesting, enjoyable beer. Good stuff.

Bottle, 33 cl. (from Mi Orge Mi houblon) Hazy, dark amber red , with big beige head. Aroma some caramel, fruity, malts. Medium body. Taste sweet, malts, little yeast, fruit touch. Finish = good bitter. Not bad.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy amber brown body with a seriously aggressive tall beige head. Aroma of leather, wet hay, cow manure, and floral. Flavor of sour funkiness, melon, caramel malt, and toffee.

33 cl bottle. Slightly hazy, dark red mahogany, small beige head. Nose of lactic acid and caramel perfumed with strawberries. Taste is then much less acidic than expected - malty sweetish with a cinnamon (or even coriander?) -like touch. Bitter finish, round mouthfeel.
