Bottle, picked up at Binnys! Pours quite hazy orange, small beige head, dissipates slowly, decent lacing. Aroma is sweet funk, candi sugar, carmelized sugars, hints of Brett and barnyard. Flavor is very sweet and lightly funky. You can almost feel supersaturated sugar crystals going down your throat. Medium body, low carbonation. Pour it over ice cream? Don’t drink it. You will die of diabetes. Oh well, 38 more beers to find to succeed in getting 10 of each style before 10,000 rates.

Aroma is nice combination of earthy sourness and sugary sweetness. Flavour is tartish with grapefruit, sweet sugary maltiness and some fruits. Interesting and better than I expected.

Bottle shared with Deanso. Pours a murky brown with a ring tan head. Aroma of nasty typical chapeau sickly lambic, sugar, stagnant funk. Flavor is heavy sweet, a touch of acidity behind. Over light bodied with soft carbonation. Not good, but I’ve had worse chapeaus

Bottle: Chestnut orange color with a minimal beige head. Nose is lightly vinous, vinegar, and oak. Taste is more on par with the faro sugar sweetness that (as a faro novice) I expected. A nice balanced sweetness and mild tannins. Drinks just fine.

Bottle at home. Pours cloudy reddish brown. nose is dark fruit juice and hint of gueuze. Tastes of cherry juice, molasses, musty, grape skins, sweet tea, and some gueuzey undertones. Pretty sweet but not cloying. Could use more acidity to punch it up some.

375ml bottle shared by Anndiesel. Murky deep grey brown body. Significant floaties in my glass. An interesting mix of sour and sweet brown malt in the aroma. I really like the deep muddled sugar tones, and think this is a refreshing beverage...just one that shouldn’t command premium prices. Not unlike a really mild Oud Bruin at times. Sweet and refreshing. OK.
