Bottle. Hazy dark orange color with white head. Aroma is maltose, wood, vanilla, dried fruits indeed. Taste is dried fruits, vanilla, wood, tobacco, caramel, surprisingly untart. Silky mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Good stuff!

375 ml bottle, bottled Dec 2016. Reddish-brown, hazy, medium, frothy, beige head. Aroma of overripe fruits, leather, dried fruits, red wine, subtle vinegar. Tastes similar. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes vinous, leathery, a bit wooden, with overripe fruits, dark berries. Very nice. Drinks like a heavy red wine, with leathery notes and dark, ripe fruits. A bit too heavy for me maybe, but really interesting, characterful stuff. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 15

Bottled, thanks Bov! Hazy amber, small head. Tart oaky caramel aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel, distinct tartness. Peppery with caramel and citric acid, notes of grapes. Peppery warming finish. Rich, pleasant, but doesn't create magic.

Pours dark amber, rather clear, small white head. Smell is not as sour as expected, bit woody. Doughy, astrigent. Taste is sharp, oak forward ( a lot ) gentle sourness, fruity, bit crisp, even. Not nearly as sour as the other versions. Medium low carbo, which is higher than the other Bon Chiens.

Thanks for sharing Kraddel. 375 ml. bottle sampled @ Vini, Birre, Ribelli 2017. Red amber orange hue, small tanned head only on the sides. Massive jammy fruits in this nose, most fruit of the 4 version tried that day, strange jammy strawberry & spices. Bit of an odd mix of strawberry jam, spices, jammy fruit, low nail polish Bon-Chien oak, touch vinegar finish, both parts don’t come together, still very nice even if a bit messy. Messy jam, spice & acidic oak body. Interesting & tasty. Wonder what is in this one.
