Aroma of malt, flowers, peach(?), spice. Ruby apricot color with tiny bubbles and a vigorous beige head that laced somewhat. Starts a bit brettomyces? Grass and herb are present. Some sweetness to go with the unusual tartness. Medium mouthfeel. Fairly dry once it settles down. Not getting much bitterness in the finish, just that unusual character. I can see why Matta suggested Wintergreen, but I don’t think that’s it. Interestingly different.

Translucent red-orange body, thick buff head. Herbal aroma, spicy, with strong notes of pineapple juice. Toasty body with bitter spices, sweet breads, potpourri, and pineappley notes that are emphasized in the finish. Alcohol is apparent but not cloying. Somewhere between unidimensional and complex.

Golden dark amber to brownish with a thin off white head. Big butterscotch aroma, rather cloying, with fruity esters, like banana. In mouth, a sweet lightly butterscotch malt, thin. A thin light body, with light caramel, light hops, overall, cloying. Enjoyed with the Mtl Crew Sept. 9, 2006.

Pour is a deep redish brown with a large tan head. Aroma is spicy and winey. Lots of dark fruits and vinegar. Flavor is wood smoke with some dark fruit and a slight cherry after taste. Finish is very sweet and tart. A different but very adequate rep of the style.

Fully hazy red-amber; small but persistent off-white head. The classic Andelot "wild ale" nose, little phenols, slight sourishness, a bit of rosewater - alcohol AND fusels. Heavily loaded spices, flowery notes (again rosewater), but the palate is surprisingly clean. Some fruit: ripe pears come to mind. Very smooth with a deliberate alcohol punch. Balance is still very good. Mijnheer Naudts, wil U alstublieft beginnen met die dingen hier ook te verkopen? Ja? Big thanks to Proef’s WA importer for the tasting.
