a plum colored beer with a bit of cloudiness. vinegar aroma, faint but there, not much else throwing off from aroma. Tastes like cold brew, a lot of chocolate as the beer leaves the palette with some dark fruits. maybe even a bit of cinnamon. Very interesting. not sure I could drink a lot.

very hazy burnt yellow appearance. has a lemon meringue pie aroma graham cracker and all. The body is pretty darn good. It’s oily, slick, dense. maybe that’s the yeast. could just be a very high FG. honey and sweet meyer lemons. there’s like a tinge thing going on right at the finish that’s like a watermelon sour candy.

Golden orange appearance. smells like pumpernickel bread, pepper and orange marmalade. Taste is interesting. Super floral. not very bright but it is almost like chewing on a piece of bread with the level of depth and flavors. yeah, toasted wheat bread. that’s what I’d compare it to. the bitterness at the end with just a little bit of brett is memorable.

Very cloudy lemon, no head. due to the yeast, I just get a lot of baby diaper in the aroma. The taste, more sulphur, baby diaper, sweet orange peel and a underlying herbal spice that really lingers on for a while. this was interesting but needs just a bit more body

Golden orange, 1 finger white head. nose is salad like. sort of grassy. hmm, the taste has a Jester king session saison aspect to it like petite prince. it certainly has the mouthfeel and finish, cereal like qualities with just a tiny bit of tartness. yeah, it’s really pretty nice, grassy, tart, lemony with the cereal. I like it.

Looks like a murky prune juice. lots of candied sugar, molasses and a little tartness in the aroma. hmmm, well, I can understand the Dubbel + Porter mix but honestly, it’s more wild ale w/ french yeast than a belgian duel or a porter. I do maybe get a tiny bit of coffee, I do get some sweetness but at the end, it’s more close to an experimental home brew.

Looks like a brown grape juice. Smells like a rodenbach to the tee. cherry pie, vinegar, balsamic. Taste. jeez, this is probably the first beer that I ever said “this is a rodenbach” to. it is identical. this is maybe a bit sweeter but holy crap how? Very nice. there might be a bit too much vinegar. Very nice.
