From tap at Van Moll Fest 2018. Aroma is strong wood with tart cherries, lots of dark fruits, dark-ish malts, and more dark berries. Flavour is quite tart and mildly sour, with some sweet tones. Body is medium. There's a touch of Flanders Red in this one, I liked it.

Sampled from tap at Van Moll Fest 2018. Hazy, dark reddish brown to black with a beige head. Sweetish-malty, a little sourish, slightly roasty and gently fruity aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, red berries and some wood. Slightly sweet, moderately sour, gently roasty and slightly fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, red berries and wood, followed by a medium long, quite tart, gently roasty and woody-dry finish. Medium body, slightly astringent and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice!
