(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy, dark orangey brown with an off-white head. Sourish aroma with hints of wood. Surprisingly light body with a tart, vinous edge and distinct oakiness. The alcohol really shines through in the finish. Very interesting - sort of an Imperial Flemish Sour. Thank you Bov for this yummy brew. 130806

Thanks to jimmack for (most-generously) bringing this to the HW Open House - I was expecting something along the lines of BA Leviathan, but what I was greated with instead was a whole different beast - very tannic aroma, with loads of oak, hints of grape, strawberry - very wine-like throughout (the other barrels it was aged in seem to be drowned out by the Merlot), which makes for a very interesting ale, with more in common with a fine lambic or flemish sour - really, really good.

Bottled. Hazy brown colour, minor white head. Strong alcohol, fruit and plum in the aroma. Flavour is alcoholic and plummy with hints of pepper and some other spices. Interesting beer, which has clear strong hints of alcohol, but not disturbing at all.

Dark hazy brown with a thin white head. Rosewood and lactic acid, horseblanket and cherries in aroma. In mouth, a Grand Cru with kick, cerry, tannins, alcohol. Rich bodied and pleasnt. But this isnt a flemmish sour???Mondial 2006.

[Bottled, thanks Bov!] Hazy mahogany colour. Refined aroma of tobacco and well oaked red wine. Medium sweet. Mildly malty and very vinous with some tartness. Surprisingly light bodied for it’s size. Simply wonderful flavourwise, with slightly less sweetness it’d achieve perfection!

Extra special thanks to Bov for this! Dark brown colour. Big aroma is oaky, alcoholic and yeasty. Full body. Lots of chewy maltiness but moves dextrously across the palate. Depth of fruitiness lends style, while wood and alcohol notes provide the backbone. Fat, tangy, complex finish. This is really cool stuff.
