Bottle from Hopt.nl, shared with Benzai and skortila. Bottle date 18/02/16 BB 17/02/21,10 cl sample. Hazy redbrown color, short frothy head. Aroma of caramelly malt, tart and lactic acid, but also some plastic and balsamic vinegar. Lactic and balsamic in taste, together with sweet caramel. Lacks complexity and balance. Not at all impressed and the price was typically Struise as well.

Bottle from Etre, 2009 cask strength. Dark reddish brown with small, off white head. Aroma of chocolate, a bit of acetone, red berries, light spice and cherries. Taste is similar, getting more and more tart and vinous as it warms. Tart dark fruit finish. Complex and interesting, but I’d actually like it even more sour than it is.

Bottle shared by Caesar. 7 year aged apparently? Well...I’m curious. Dark red-brown color, small off-white to beige head. Aroma is -even though officially it’s impossible- a bit sweetish and a bit weird. Flavor is a bit sourish, a bit sweetish, sour fruit, tart, red fruit in the background. Decent beer, not my style, but ok. Definitely solid for a sour red-brown.
