Draught at BXL Beer Fest.
Dark red, slightly purple body, with a medium, pinkish head.
Aroma with lots of cassis, young cheese, moderate funk, some chewy dark berries.
Tastes similar, with slight vinegar.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes smooth, moderate sour, a bit wooden, very fruity, with lingering cassis.

Tasty. The cassis is really beautiful, sweet but also characterful. Still with enough funk notes from the background for a good depth. Lovely fruit Lambic as I like it.

Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

Score: 7 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 15 - - Draught at Arrogant Sour Festival 2018. Shared by Werckmeister, thanks!
Red, hazy body, with a small, light pink head.
Aroma mainly of cassis, moderate funk, some wood.
Tastes of cassis, funk, horse blanket, wood, some apples.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a low carbonation.
Finishes moderate sweet, medium dry, slightly funky, wooden, fruity, with cassis, some apples, some pears, some horse blanket.

Very nice. The nose is a bit simple, mainly of cassis, while the taste is really diverse, with lovely funk and barrel notes. Not as great as the Experimental Framboise for me, but another lovely one.
