Had this back in 2013 when it was called Draai Laag St. Angus. Brewer assures me its the same recipe. See my rating at: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/draai-laag-st-angus/211921/

Rated in 2014 as Draai Laag Goedenacht, brewer assures me its the same recipe. On tap at the bocktown, nice place. No real apparent aroma, surprisingly no volatile fumes for nearly 10%. And, its fairly easy on the palate. quite civilized you would never know this is 10%. Hides the alky really well, reserved and almost sessionable. On the uptake, it seems more like a 4% domestic beldgy. After a few, you now know its a tenner, wew, dizzy baby. Well done DL on this beldgy wannah bee. Its reserved and with manners, good job! Nice domestic attempt at a real trippel. I've had this a few times, mostly its a darker cloudy beer but sometimes I've seen it a little lighter.

Purplish brew. Smell is of sweet grape juice. almost artificial but not. Taste is bubbly grape juice as well. Very tasty very fun stuff. I'm digging this. Its pretty darn good! Much better than expected, its something more than a simple fru-fru fruity beer. I am, however, worried about the amount of unfermented sugar I detect in here.

Aroma is a little off, somewhat farmy mixed with mildly rotting cherries. Taste is farmy cherries as well, So tart and fun. Uncivilized ina good way. Its rather yummy and very tasty. Tart off cherry is continuously wild clear to the end. Good, but probably not as good as SR's other tart beers.

Had this back in 2016 as a tap @ Brixton. Back then they called it Draai Laag Haviken. Brewer says its the exact same recipe. Slight dull tart aroma. Nice lacing on this one. Orange brown and clear. Lighter flavor, hides his alky well. Fun loving, just a hint of hops. Very nice finish. Fruity and mildly tart. Very good overall beer tasting experience. It ROCKS. Really good old ale, yum.

Tap at gibsonia brewpub. Looks nice and clear and dark reddish. Smell is fabulous mild sweet perfume. Compared to the smell, taste is almost shockingly tart. No real hint of the double barrel aging in this one, it's too civilized! Hides alky well, you'd never know this was near 9%! Goes down way too easy and leaves a pleasant mildly tart finish. Man, I got to have another of these! This beer ROCKS! Its a fine example of sour american lambic!

Sampled on draft this beer poured a very dark brown - almost black - color with a small foamy beige head that left decent lacing. The aroma was cola, dust, malt and a bit of graininess. The flavor was roasty with cola, wood, light bitterness, grain, dust and a bit of booziness. Medium length finish. Medium body.

120617. Accurate to the description. tart cherry, porterish notes. Nicely smokey nose, dark chocolate cherry throughout.
