(Bottle) Dark ruby colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, slightly roasty nose with blackberries, red fruit, coffee and barnyard. Fruity, tart taste with notes of blackberries, red fruit, barnyard, coffee, chocolate, oak wood and funky yeast. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well balanced. The fruit and lambic is more in front than the brune. Very nice.

Sample (from fonefan!). Coppery brown colour, minor head. Aroma is tart wood, some sour fruits, mild chocolate biscuits too with some nutty elements. Flavour is chocolate biscuits, nutty elements with some sour fruits and big time tartness. Kind of Snickers thrown into some sour berry juice. Different, and in a good one.

I dunno if it was this or the cassis but chocolate really comes out on one of them and I'm guessing it's this one. Soft finish funk love.

750ml @ Ryan's. Appearance: very dark copper with a tan head. Aroma: quite bold, with a lot of funk backed by dark malts and fruit. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: pretty good, however, I am still not convinced that dark malts should be added to lambics.

750mL bottle, pours an opaque rusted reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out pithy blackberry skins, light funk, a bit of barnyard character, and some earthiness. Flavour has a surprisingly nice leathery funk to this, with lots of earthiness, gentle tartness, light barnyard notes, and subtle blackberry pithiness. Funky, leathery, gently jammy and tart. This is surprisingly excellent.
