Cherry, prune, caramel malt, tobacco, and hay aroma. Murky dark brown with moderate light brown head. Moderate sweet-tart cherry, chocolate caramel malt, moderate sour citric acid, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Great body - tobacco aftertaste. Great.

Flat and light brown. There's a sweetish, vanilla, and maple note on the nose, Hints of chocolate Just a touch of the roast. I didn't like Mandragore the first time but this smells civilized. On the palate, this has deep fruitiness, sweet & sour. The dark malts have been transformed, with raisins, and caramelized figs. Old school BFM - a crazy beer that defies boundaries, an in fact pretends that they do not exist. Damn, I didn't even like Mandragore...happy accident.

2018-01-20, vintage 2008 according to my records, most likely Winter 2011, 6 years old, 6-2-6-3-12=29
Dark brown with no head. Smell of old house, old wood, leather, foot. Oily mouthfeel, strong leather flavor, winey, no carbonation, dark malts, moderate acidity, shoes.
It's not aging well, it may be interesting, but it's so weird that it's hard to really like.

Dark brown color with no head, flat. Good balance of tobacco, chocolate and acetic sourness.
Very interesting.
2012-12-12, bottle from Au Grain d'Orge, Crissier 8-4-8-4-17=41
Dark brown color, almost no carbonation and no head. Excellent aroma, strong, with chocolate, wood, a bit vinous as well and light sweat. Good body, not too oily, with strong flavor of dark malts, wood, some chocolate, rather dry; the ice concentration has improved/increased the funky BFM character; there is a trace if acetone. Complex, powerful, very interesting
2012-06-29, bottle at Fête de la Bière Artisanale, Crissier

Draft @ Moeder Lambic Original. Couleur brune foncée, col offre qcq fines bulles beiges. Arôme est fortement balsamique, rétro de boisé, malt assez prononcé mais dont les premières effluves attaquent de suite le nez avec des notes aigres puissantes. Palais est similaire, énorme couche d’aigrelet, acétone presque sur fin boisé, malté caramel, grillé virant vers balsamique, Sherry. Retrouve un peu le côté funk de BFM de certaines Bon-Chien mais ici tout semble plus fort et concentré.

330mL bottle, pours black with a reddish tinge and a tiny bubbly head. Nose brings out red wine barrels, light perfumey notes, some toasted bready malt, and light acidity. Flavour is quite vinous, with very tart berries, tobacco and red wine barrels upfront, with some light acidity and a little perfume. Dry, leathery and acidic on the finish. Well-integrated on all the different flavours. Good in small amounts.
