Bottle from Beer Republic. Aroma is malty with mildly tart and sweetish cherries, caramel, a touch of wood, bit bready. Flavour is disappointingly low on tart- and sourness with a little sweetness. Body is medium. Not bad exactly but way too mild.

bottle. Brown pour with a smallish beige head that has decent retention. The aroma is mild with cherries, caramel and some sawdust. The taste is slightly tart-sweet cherries with toffee and grapes filling in the sides and back. The palate is full and smooth. Finishes somewhat short and semisweet. Overall: Decent, quite lovely in its own way, I will drink this again.

Deep red-orange-brown body, thick creamy beige head. Nose a nice combination of sweet, tart, fruity, and toasty notes. Tart, sharply carbonated body, with vinaigrette, dark fruits, and toasted sugars, but on the balance dry. A refreshing change of pace.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 02-2019) im 2019-07 getrunken. Dieses rotbraune Flanders Ale kommt mit eine typischen Säure daher. Doch im Aroma ist irgendwas muffiges was mir nicht gefällt, womit dieses Ale leider durchfällt. Schade!

Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L's place. Thanks. Cloudy red-brown. Malt, caramel, vinegar, red fruits, oxidation, sweetish-sourish, medium-bodied. Nice.

At a tasting, thanks, smallish creamy head, lightish brown color, aroma of cooked fruits, sourdough bread and an oxidized hint, flavor of cooked apples with hints of metal, spice and yeast, mellow sourness. Nice.

33 cl bottle. Dark reddish brown color. Small creamy beige head. Sour, dried fruit nose. Tart, dry sour fruit flavor. Notes of sour cherries and stone fruit. Thin bodied, yet refreshing. Earthy, dry plum-like finish.

bottle - Deep amber pour with a small head. Aroma is of sour cherries, malt, and some funk. The flavor is of tart cherries, other dark fruit, bready malt, and funk. It's tasty with the one drawback for me that even given plenty of time to warm, it was still on the watery side.
