Bottle. Dark brown color. Vinous notes, vanilla and raisin in the aroma. Thinnish, vinous, alcoholic flavor. Oak, vanilla and raisin. Sweet, but enough complexity, only somewhat lacking in balance.

33cl bottle, reads oak aged in red on label. No date. Pours near black with a huge light brown head, gusher! Strong anise, fennel aroma, ripe berries, oak, mild tartness alongside brown sugary sweetness. Flavor has sour red berries, (like lingonberries) , oak, tartness, licorice. Dry finish. Alcohol warmth. I so like the sour berry thing here. Hides the sweetness nicely. Very different from the original version. Oud bruinish.

330ml bottle, many thanks to JefVerstraete! Pours black / extremely dark brown with a bountiful foamy tan head. Aroma is slightly herbal and a touch sugary. Taste is espresso, plums, chocolate, raw liquorice, sugary marzipan and a noticeable vinous sour influence. Overly high carbonation. In all, taste seems a bit disjointed but not bad.

Black colour, tan head. Light gusher. Aroma of cherries, red fruits, brett. Malty flavour, dark malts, brett, light wine, sour hint. Quite fizzy. Finish caramel, dark malts, cherry, some wood. (from 33cL bottle @ home)

33cl Bottle from douberd, thanks Christos! I guess it’s this version. Almost black colour, huge beige head. Aroma of an infection, quite tart, berries, red fruits, vinous, red wine, wood, spicy yeast, some liqourice, acid. Flavour is sour, acidic, wood, light spicy, roasted malts, some liquorice, stale red wine, wood, tart-bitter finish. Medium-bodied, over-carbonated. Gets better when it warms up, but it’s heavily infected imho.

Bouteille 33cl de HopDuvel, no BB. De couleur acajou, ambrée, col modéré café au lait avec un peu de rétention. Arôme offre de suite de belles effluves de vin rouge, le tout ponctué par des notes rappelant un peu une vieille brune flamande. Note de malt crystal, caramel avec un léger résiduel boisé de chêne offrant qcq notes de tanins. Palais est agréable avec une certaine aigreur boisée et fruitée prenant le dessus tout en restant d’un niveau correct. On note très bien le côté vineux, boisé de Bordeaux avec ici aussi un léger résiduel sucré, boisé ponctué d’une fine aigreur fruitée rouge pouvant faire penser à une Rodenbach. L’effervescence est faible mais ok pour ce style de bière avec un fini vinaigré modéré.

28/I/14 - 33cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte) @ home - BB: n/a (2014-128) Thanks to Bene for doing the shopping!

Clear dark brown beer, irregular beige head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sourish, funky, reminds met of geuze, also some red wine, bit sweet, caramel, sour apples. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sour start, notes of red win, tannins, bit lemony, vinegar, geuze like flavours, bit hoppy, some mocha. Aftertaste: bitter tannins, hops, red wine, pretty sour, lots of geuze characteristics, sourish infected stuff, wood tannins, mocha, some dried fruits, but the sourness is overpowering most other flavours. I'd say the barrel ageing did no good to the beer...
