Super hazy and chunky deep ruby and lighter brown coloured body with a muddied brownish glow and some soft red and copper glowing aspects all under a single centimetre tall rich tan head that fades fairly quickly, especially for a belgian. Aroma of super complex and funky yeast notes with some bananas, bread, lactobilly funk, a ton of apples, pears and soft fruits with a lot of tart and berry-like notes here as well with a good bretty note as well with some wood and cedar notes at the end but seemingly none from spontaneous fermentation - very complex in the nose and incredible for the style. Medium-bodied; Rich muddied and earthy, rustic malt note at first with some light nuttiness and a simple grassy finish with the lactobilly notes and some cream, vanilla and milk actually showing up a bit earlier, but the tart and fruity notes follow right behind with a touch of flowers and perfume, too, but the complexity really arises from the tartness and soured qualities. Aftertaste shows some light tartness and cherry notes with bananas, soft malts, a dash of bubble gum and a more pronounced blueberry and blackberry finish, but the lactobilly and especially the bretty notes dominate here in a good way that maximises the complexity while leaving a relatively typical dubbel in the background. Overall, a nice beer and very complex throughout, but I immediately bought this because it was a reputable belgian in a can, but I'm happy I bought it, aged it and enjoyed it on a nice day. This is a good beer to try if you can find it! I sampled this 33 cL can, purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 27-June-2018 for US$4,49 sampled just over four years later at my house here in Washington on 11-July-2022.
