Old bottles, probably from 2002. Dark chestnut, bit hazy. Funky, metallic, caramel, earthy, deep. Surprisingly nice and smooth mouthfeel, dry, soft, caramel oak funky, damp, ash, dates. I like.

Dark copper pour, with a small white head. A soightly funk barnyard aroma, with some minerals and quite a bit of sweetness. There are touches of stone fruits, and the funk is quite dialed back, which i expected for the style. I can see how this is much more approachable to lambic beginners.

Bottle at home. Aroma of sweet candy sugar, malt, caramel. Flavour is sweet with a hint of sourness. Body is medium. Girardin make one of the best Gueuzes in the world, but even they can’t make a worthwhile Faro. Guess I just don’t like the style.

Bottle: Starts sour than will change lightly to sweet. Hints of citrus, caramel that makes a well balance.

Bottle shared by MisoW, thanks. Malty aroma and taste, caramel, honey, sugar, wooden notes, medium sweet, light sourish notes. Medium body, malty sweet finish. Ok.

Bottle at a tasting, thanks to MisoW. Med-full body, very low carbonation. Low sourness, sugary, lots of caramel. Very light touch of barnyard. Average at best.

Bottled with a plastic cork, Girardin goes modern... Amber color. Not very much of an aroma. A vague woody caramelly touch. Sweet flavor, woody with lemon. Caramelly, dusty. A bit of nutty bitterness. Some sherry character. Likeable, but not my favorite from Girardin.
