0.75 l bottle from 'Drankgigant.nl', best before December 2027. Clear, very dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly sourish, quite vinous-fruity aroma of red wine, balsamic vinegar, bitter almond, caramel, oak and sour cherry. Gently sweet, malty, moderately sour, rather vinous-fruity taste of red wine, quite some oak, balsamic vinegar, sour cherry, balsamic vinegar and some caramel, followed by a medium long, moderately tart, gently woody-dry finish. Medium to full body, slightly astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Tasty sour ale, very well-balanced and quite complex. I have given up buying the Indulgence series beers a few years ago but this one was a lot more intriguing than the releases of the recent years, and it didn't disappoint.

Pours a foamy lemon yelloe. Grassy citrus nose. Mildly acidic taste. Pretty well balanced wit.

Wow! I just stumbled on to this, inexplicably, a huge stash is newly arrived at my local supermarket across the street. Pours very dark brown black w/some head and some lacing. Aroma is strong, taste is strong and malty, some sweet & fruit tastes, I guess the alcohol is noticeable though I really don’t mind. Surprisingly good! Buying decent beer from regular grocers in Manhattan is tough so when your local provison store somehow, some way, ends up with a stash of this, you take notice.
