Bottled. An unclear dark red beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of spices, malt, wood, and berries. The flavor is sweet and acidic with notes of black currant, alcohol, malt, and caramel, leading to a dry acidic finish.

(Bottle, thanks FatPhil, at One Pint Pub Belgian weeks ’09) Dark brown and hazy. Small white head. Cough mixture and bouillon in aroma. Full bodied and dry palate with medium carbonation. Cough mixture, berries, malts, sweetness and bitterness in taste, Awful. A bad bottle perhaps.

Bottle bought at Beerplanet, Bruxelles. Pours muddy amber reddish with the most creamy head ive ever seen. Nose is sweet and sour of cassis, wheat and yeast. Smooth mouthfeel and carbonation Herbal fruityness, close to picking up some liquorice. A fruitbeer unlike anything Ive tasted before. Quite interesting. Ends dry with sour cassis tingling my cheek.

Being a fan of the brewery this was a "want list" beer but unfortunately the biggest miss of the trip. Pours a purplish-reddish-brown color with no clarity and a large head head that eventually becomes a thick surface covering lacing. Its downhill from there. Aroma is herbal (in a bad way), some cough medicine, some cardboard tasting spoiled fruits. Taste is light tart berries which would be nice but its a but weird with off flavors of cardboard and paper fruits. Weird and not good.
330mL bottle, BB 2010, from Bier Temple (Brussels), poured into De Neve tumbler on 5/20/08.

Red-chestnut brown; slim, pinkish-amber rim. Superb herbal nose: laurel, laurelcherry. At first sourish, fruity and herbal, again laurelcherry (a berry, often used in medicinal recipes for taste correction) It works (if it is added, of course, which I doubt, cassis is more reasonable) in this beer. Light bodied, but the alcohol is obvious. I couldn’t imagine a more surprising beer - from this brewery, and it’s far from bad. Quite good fruit beer.
