Bottle @ MTG II tasting at Rich’s Welfare Pad. Pours a hazed red, off white head. Massively complex aroma with bourbon, berries and sour red balsamic. Taste is puckeringly crisp with layered nuances of bourbon, nutty toffee and a sharp acetic presence. Intense.

At Ghent Beer Festival. Pours clear ruby red with a small beige head. The aroma contains caramel, malts, vinegar, whisky/bourbon and citrus. It tastes medium sweet and medium to heavy sour. The finish is long and acidic - a bit too much. Medium body, soft carbonation. Great to discover.

No head left but small rim; red-brown beer. Sour, vinous, cherries, wood - all things nice. Sour-fruity, red (unripe) fruit, redcurrant. Complex, lactic, tad of acetid, just a hint at vanilla. Acidburning, acidthinning. A tad too sour, maybe - but (very) good all the same.

Thank you for sharing! Sampled 750 ml. bottle @ Gents Bierfestival 2016. Dark red copper with no head. Nose is quite sour with glue components, sour red fruit, vinegar, quite sour & puckering but rather nice. Taste is sour vinegar, acidic, touch glue, sour puckering red fruit & oak, didn’t get the bourbon, puckering vinegar cherry,… Body is vinegar, oak & glue. Quite harsh but also pretty good & enjoyable.

Aroma: 8/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 6/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 12/20, MyTotalScore: 3.1/5
20/VIII/16 - 75cl bottle @ Gents Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2016-868)
Clear ruby red beer, small aery beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of lactobacillus, very earthy, tobacco leafs, some caramel. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish, lots of lacto, lemony, acidic, vinegar even, bit fruity. Aftertaste: very sourish, lemon juice, vinegar, way too sour, burns the throat. Don't like the super aggressive character of this beer.
