On tap. Pours a reddish brown with short foamy head. Aromas and flavors of vanilla, vinegar, and woody green oak. Not much depth. Can’t get the expected deep fruits of a Flemish Red.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Dark color, mahogany with red hue, and compact beige head. The lactic aroma blends well with the fruity tartness, the result is lightly vinous. Good body strength, not too dry, it has strong woody malt flavor, light sourness, and notes of balsamic vinegar; light astringency in the end.
Soft and elegant, very good.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a dark mahogany with an off-white head. Aroma brings out lots of lacto, tart dark fruits, and some light vinegar. Flavour is bizarre, with lots of wood, moderately tart dark fruits, and a dry sharp finish. Very woody and fairly balanced; not overly complex, but quite interesting. Okay.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark copper with a beige head. Aroma is mostly brown sugar. Med + body. Flavor is malty, brown sugar - something hard to pin down. Wood! That’s it! More towards brown sugary barley wine than a doppelbock? Unusual, but pretty tasty.

Pours hazy yellow with a tiny head that disappears very quickly. Aroma of tropical fruity hops, vinous notes, grapefruit, spices, lactic yeastiness and tartness. Taste is vinous, juicy and fruity with some grapes, berries and malts. Finish is vinous, tartish and fruity. Quite vinous.

Aroma has soapy citrus, spices and grassy hops. Also grapefruit and oat porridge. Flavour is tart with citrus, grapefruit, white wine and some green apples. Too acidic for me and lemon is also too overwhelming here.

Pours pitch black with a smooth head. Aroma of coffee, roastiness, salty licorice, dark chocolate and syrup. Taste is salty, roasty and sweetish with some licorice, dark chocolate and coffee. Finish is smooth, salty and slightly roasty with some coffee and syrupy notes. Slightly unbalanced.

Aroma has mocha coffee, some peppery tones and vanilla. Flavour has salty licorice, ash, more salt and distant herbal tones. Aroma is nice but this is way too salty. At the end of the glass this starts to feel sour and lactic too. Confusing; I like the coffee notes here, but the salt and sourness ruin the show.

Bottle split at Leightons cloud house, thanks to Foigus, 02/09/14. Lightly hazed golden with a well appointed off white covering that retains. Nose is light plastic, bitter orange, pale malt, straw, tangerine. Taste comprises citric sherbets, grass, earthy hops, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Plastic burps ensued. So so - the plastic nose lets this one down and the hops were pretty limited.
