0.33 l bottle from ’Belgiuminabox.com’, brewed in 2013, bottled in April 2015, cellared for almost two years. Slightly hazy, very dark red with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, quite fruity and vinous aroma of balsamic vinegar, red grapes, oak, sour cherries, almond and some caramel. Slightly sweetish, quite sour, a little funky, quite vinous and rather fruity taste of caramel, oak, balsamic vinegar, cherries, red grapes and redcurrant, followed by a medium long, rather tart, woody-dry and vinous finish. Medium body, slightly astringent and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very complex, intense and at the same time extremely refreshing. Fortunately, the vinegar aroma is less retronasal, could otherwise have been too much. No alcohol whatsoever detectable, highly enjoyable!
