Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a dark murky reddish-brown, small off white top. Aroma has a sour red ale note with chocolate, something chemical, earth; interesting but odd. Taste of figs, berries, dark malt with chocolate edge, brown sugar, earthy hops with decent bitter kick; nice! I was worried from the aroma that this was going to be unbalanced but it works with a nice level of complexity. Medium bodied, rich but not overdone.

Bottle, dark brown with a huge light tan head. Complex bready nose with medium brown sugar notes. Pretty sweet on the tongue, i guess a lot of caramel and kandi syrup, at the end a bit one dimensional flavor with too much unbalanced sweetness.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a mahogany colour with a thinnish creamy beige head. Aromas of dark fruits, berries, nuts, caramel and toasty brown bread. Taste has more red berries, nuts and caramel with some added chocolate and a slightly tart tang on the finish. Thinnish watery body with average carbonation. Quite decent and pleasant to drink but nothing special at the same time.
