Bottle. Sour milk, molasses malt aroma. Pale brown color with slight film of a head - large amount of flocculation. Very sweet rock candy flavor with just a hint of lambic sourness. Very sweet - what I expected given the other Chapeau beers I’ve had but at least it’s not cloying and the flavor is nice.

Pours cola colored into a tumbler. Off-white micro head quickly recedes to skim surface. Sweet & sour aromas. Tastes like it smells -- like a chinese special. Interesting mix of sour apple lambic and malty simple syrup. A little thin, but finishes with a tingle.

Pours hazy brown color with small off white head. Slightly sour aroma with apple, pear, grape. Flavor is sweet and sour apple. Goes down easy. Light to medium body with lightly fizzy carbonation and a dry finish. Good stuff, seems underrated to me.

375 ml courtesy of Zinister, shared at the csbosox tasting on 3/7/08. Pour is copper-orange with some soapy egg-white foam around the edges of the glass. Aroma of big Belgian candy sugar that smells like it is being cooked. Approaching brown sugar. Taste is big sugary, syrupy and tart. Get a bunch of raspberry and cookie dough also. Finish is really think and coating. Very long finish. Dusty, earthy, interesting and a nice break to the night. Thanks for sending this one my way Mike.

Hazy amber with loads of floaties. Sweet and sour aroma with rather vinious and ripe fruity notes. Sweet flavor with light brett notes. Caramel, fruits and wood sums it up.

25 cl bottle, thanks to BelJohansen. pours dark orange with a lacing white head. Aroma is light fruity acidic and sweet overripe fruity. Flavour is sugarish sweet and caramel malty, light acidic note - much like flemish sour. Light woody and towards a light smoked note. Ends with a citric to acidc note. Nice.

Got this today from hopscotch, thanks pal! 12.7 oz corked bottle Oh my, this stuff is simply delicious, a great beer by any standard. Fine wine aroma. Nice dark clear color. Friendly by any comparable specification. Delicious and perfectly balanced, absolutely no bitterness in this beer what so ever. If this was cheaper and readily available, I would buy it all the time. It’s gone? Blast. What a great beer drinking experience, as good as or better than fruit lambics. I really owe hopscotch one for this! The finest of fine. In my humble opinion, some of the best beer I’ve ever tasted.

Dark ruby color. Curious boozy aroma. Brandyish, also with a cheap cherry liqueur quality. It previews a hugely cloying flavor, and while hugely sweet I guess it wasn’t as syrupy cloying as I’d feared. Its getting close though! There’s a slight cherry pit tartness. Weird herbal finish that hints at anise.

Thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing - my first, and quite possibly my last faro - smells like raw cane sugar and earthy, almost rotting fruit - not a lot going on in the flavor - sugar dominates, along with some cherry and other fruity aspect - there is some acidity and sourness far in the background, but the sweetness overpowers it so much.
