33cL bottle, no bbe date, hell, not US warning even, bootlegged?.
Pours deep red, almost brown, big fluffy tan head fades to a thin ring with time leaving some sexy lace upon my Chouffe tulip.
Mildly tart nose with some strange butterness in there also, not over the top butter, but enough to notice.
Very balanced Flemish Red/Brown, never really takes it to far in any direction, mild sourness with some more butter.

Jul 12, 2008 330 ml, bb 31-07-08. Translucent, deep mahogany with garnet highlights. One-finger, creamy tan head lasts longer than the beer in my glass. Aroma is a pleasant mix of tart berry, overripe dark fruit, some hints of wood, metal and malt vinegar. Flavor is tart raspberry-cherry, dates, brown sugar, earthy spices, gunmetal, oak, vinegar. Medium body is smooth, a little sticky, but acidic-tingly and refreshing. Very well-balanced and sessionable sour with nice dubbel-like flavors.

Jul 1, 2008 Bottled. Clear ruby color, short head. Aroma of slight oak, tart fruit, some malt. Sourish taste, bit sticky. Very typical flemish sour ale, bit dry and oaky. Though quite soft compared to american sours, as always.

Jun 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours a lovely deep ruby with rocky beige head. The aroma is woody sourness with a bit of a vinous fruit element, and a very distant chocolate note. The flavor is sweet fruits (berries, plum, orange, fig), a pretty strong oak component, and a tart acidity. Smooth caramel is throughout. The finish has a strange roasted note to it that lingers into a dusty aftertaste. Refreshing.
