750mL thanks to beerandblues2. Pic coming soon! The pour is a deep, clear maroon with no head formation. Yellow bubbles form. Nose is spicy oak, sour cherries, old grape jelly. Taste is very hot...pretty acetic with some massive amounts of mouth-puckering sourness like Warhead candies. Big tartaric acid quality. Not bad at all but certainly a slap your face sourness. Odd nose. Overall a decent Flemish red type of sour.

75cl, thanks BeerandBlues2. Minimal beige head, cloudy dark brown body. Aroma is moderately sweet, currant/plum, some sour, wood. Taste is moderately sweet, cherry, currant/plum, some wood, fairly tart. Medium body, some acidity.

Hazy reddish brown pour with white head, aroma brings notes of cherry pits and skins, some hints of lactic lemon, tart fruit, notes of some nuttiness and light molasses and brown sugar. Taste is a nice balance of tart fruit, with cherry and lemon notes leading into sweet nuts, biscuit and some brown sugar, finishing slightly funky, dry and tart as well.
