Draught @ Drie Dorstige Herten Aroma has vinegar, balsamico, wood and cherry. Flavour has srrong balsamico tones, vinegar, sour cherries and woody notes. Finishes with mild licorice. Solid, but not my thing.

Bottle from Bierkompass.de. Deep dark brown color. Vinous aroma with grapes, cherry and oak, like a fortified and matured Rodenbach Grand Cru. Odd mix of dried fruit with coffee as initial flavors, challenged and conquered finally by an upcoming tartness. Vinous flavors, oak, cherry, roast, tobacco. Extremely complex and the balance is questionable, but this beer is so good.........

0.33l bottle. Very dark brown body with a super thin beige head. Balsamic vinegar dominates the aroma with notes of cocoa, brown sugar syrup, oak, mold and sour cherries. Sour cherries and balsamic vinegar appear in the taste too so as the oak and some cocoa. It even shows a bit of chocolate. Quite sour. Not disturbing, but it walks on a fine line. Interesting beer. Not something I'd sip on every day, but I'm happy that I tried it.

Taste is slightly dry, sour, chocolately dark malty, vinous, fruity, oaky, tannic, notes of morello, hints of blue grapes, sour dark berries, a minimally sweet-ish touch of plum, some balsamico. Rich and complex, a tad too sour and astringent.

Lot no. 880. Smells Morpheusy, tart, vinous. Almost completely flat, minimal head. Drinks sour, more Morpheus, fruity (cherries, grapes, strawberries?), and lots of tannins. Lovely dark sour, smoother than most oud bruins. Something sharp in the back.
