Bottle: Poured a cloudy medium brown color lambic with a medium foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of candi sugar with a lightly tart dubbel base. Taste is a weird mix between some Belgian malt with some easily noticeable candi sugar and a light tart and oak finish. Body is somewhat thin with good carbonation. OK but not something I would seek again.

25cl bottle. Vintage 1997. Trade with TheWolf. Thank you Rene. Pours dark amber with a red hew and a creamy bubbly beige head. Nose is sweet and earthy. Mouldy cellar notes, clearly past its prime. Aroma also has a good deal of sweet caramel/toffee. Flat carbonation. Medium bodied. The tartness of a lambic is unfortunatly not there & quite oxidized on top of that. Caramel, plum, mould and cellar. OK

Bottle, 25cl, thx to thewolf. (vintage 1998, 5% ABV.) It poured a clear, copper body with a beige head. More head than expected for a 10 year old beer. Sweet, slightly oxidized nose with hints of cellar. Oxidized and sweet on the palate as well, medium fullness, with some fruity notes. Quite weak on the flavor. Oxidized finish. As expected, it was oxidized, but I don’t think that matters in a beer like this. It’s easy to drink, sure suitable for a hot day. (080301)

[1998 vintage] Hazy brown with tiny white short lasting head. Sweet malty aroma with no lambic notes and slightly oxidized. Flavor holds notes of caramel and goes the same way as the aroma.

25 cL bottle, thanks to BelJohansen and thewolf for this treat. Pours cloudy brown with a lacing white head. Oxidised malt aroma. Oxidised malt flavour with a surprisingly dry malt base. Light smooth malt and almost chocolate flavoured finish.

Bottle: Poured a amber brown color with a slight reddish hint. The head was a thin soft white color. Aroma was a pungent sour fruit with accents of wood of some type. The taste was different, started out with a acidic fruit and sour tingle; however seemed dry hidden sweet finish.

Bottle, 5%. Sweet, acidic and vinous aroma with some fruit/berries. Dark amber colour, seems clear. Sparkling. Small white head. The flavour is citric and slightly sweet. Moldy with a rough, old tasting bitterness. Thin mouthfeel. Not too pleasant at first, but it gains a little after a while.

Deep amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is candysugarish with some wood and sour fruits. Flavour is mostly candysugar and some wood. Quite sweet, but still not too sweet.
