Thanks! 650 ml. bottle sampled @ “Tim’s Christmas Tasting”. Black, quickly gone mocha bubbles. Barrels are all bourbon & rye whiskey and yet the nose is huge wine, very vinous, tart, light sour mocha, sourer oak. Taste is puckering blackberries, very vinous, dough, sour berries, more wine, light oak, red grapes, light funk. Body is touch watery, overall quite a nice Oud Bruin (taste-wise) not sure what this is exactly but not bad to drink, not exceptional but nice for sure.

Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Mocha head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface. Bourbon and caramel aromas. Sweet with oak and pit fruit front to back. Medium length dry oak finish.

22oz bottle pours a murky brown with lots of frothy, beige head. Nose has raisin, prune, lots of cooked greens, some soured coffee, plenty of lactic acid. Flavor is tart with vinegar, prunes, cherries, wood pulp, some tobacco, soured cola. Medium bodied, tart finish.

Mild gusher. Almost opaque dark brown beer, big pale tan head. Palate is airy with mild fine carbonation. Mild sourness interesects with the bourbon and rye and produces a tangy coca cola thing. Something like mild cinnamon. Light finish. It’s not entirely unpleasant but a blend of barrel aged beers that want to be a sour/red brown was always going to be a little messy.

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with an enormous fluffy orange-tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was funky, chalky and bretty with Pez and dark fruits. The flavor was tart, dry, bitter and chalky with red wine, a bit of tart dark fruits and then more chalk. Very long finish. Medium body. Disappointing.

Bottle thanks to Marcelo. Pours a reddish brown color with a medium white head. A big funky malty sour fruit nose. The base sweetness is there, but this is a solid Flemish brown, fruity, very vinous. Awesome. Drinkable.

Somewhere between a 2 and 4oz bottle pour at SAVOR 2015’s Saturday night session. Poured a cloudy brown-black color with a small brown head. Aroma was notes of light funky cherries, vanilla, light berry, lots of funky notes. Flavor is cherries, dark fruits, dusty, light herbal notes. Tart finish. Okay.
