Bottle shared @ weekly tasting. Reddish color, small beige head. Aroma is quite sweet with some red fruits. Taste is sweet, lightly alcohol, lightly red fruits again, some kind of cherry candy. Decent body and carbonation. Not bad.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ Kulminator. Very dark brown, blackish with a solid creamy beige head. Pretty bitter stuff, raw & unbalanced, coffee filter, raw grounds, syrupy dark fruits, mocha, touch metallic. Finish come in heavily. Substantial body. I understand the comparison the Rochefort 10 comparison, this was not bad, far too unbalanced & raw + all over the place. Expected a bit more from Loterbol to be honest.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Loterbol Sint-Jan Diest (by Brouwerij Loterbol (was Duysters)):
Aroma: 8/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 16/20, MyTotalScore: 3.7/5
24/VIII/13 - 33cl bottle @ Bierweekend Lambiekstoempers (Alsemberg) - BB: n/a (2013-801) Thanks to T. for sharing today's beers!
Clear deep purple brown beer, big creamy beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: caramel, dried fruits, some banana, toast. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sugary, raisins, hops, caramel, some mocha, toast, bit of banana. Aftertaste: lots of dried fruits, alcohol noticeable, little metallic, bit of mocha, toast, pretty hoppy finish. Nice one this, best beer of the entire day! (Which were only new ones or hard to finds, of course. I'm sure the lambic beers were even better ;-)
