2009 vintage. 375mL bottle, courtesy of fiulijn (thanks Alex), pours a deep dark mahogany / dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is very dry, oaky and vinous, with dry wood and grapes. Flavour is similar, with dominating dry vinous and oaky notes - I get mostly wine and wood here. Quite complex. Drinkable in small amounts, as the intense wine and oak become slightly overbearing after a while. This has held up exceptionally well over the past 5 years. Nice stuff.

Bottle at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, October 2014. A bit hazy orange/red with a small head. Sour with berries, some vinegar, wood and light bread. The finish was dry and tart. A descent one.

Draft @ ML Fontainas, Italian Fest Sept ’14. Dorée tirant sur un léger orangé. Col blanc très fin. Arôme met de suite l’ambiance, très fort sur le bouquet tourbé qui est dominant et sans rappeler les whisky écossais. Rétro légèrement fruité sur des notes d’agrumes. Palais offre une effervescence moyenne voire haute, tourbé très dominant, qui surprend au début mais qui finit par gagner sa place. Le côté acidulé reste présent mais est vite éclipsé par ce malt tourbé qui finit par rappeler le bacon voire une fumée de cigare. Reste très peu en terme de vin rouge.

Draft @ ML Fontainas, Italian Fest Sept ’14. Acajou au col éparse blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet enivrant de fruité et de notes aigrelettes. Le tout rappelant une version plus atténuée de Uvabeer. Garde un bouquet tirant presque sur un mosto di vino, et une clin d’œil de vin. Palais reste léger, profil suret et aigrelet avec un excellent apport fruité rappelant un profil vineux et de barrique qui laissent s’échapper de subtils tanins. Le côté aigre reste modéré avec en retrait une fine amertume des houblons. Malt grillé accompagne un palais restant sec et centré sur des grains. L’acidité apparait plus prononcée sur la fin avec un ajout châtaigne.

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Italian Beer Week-end / Zwanze 2014 CML. Black, solid smaller mocha head. Nose very syrupy, prunes, mocha, liquorish. Taste is long cooked brown apples, syrup, lots of prunes, creamy liquorish, dark fruits, mocha. Thick syrupy body. Very nice even if not my favourite flavour combinations.

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Italian Beer Week-end / Zwanze 2014 CML. Dark amber, bubbles for a head. Nose is lovely sour, tart fruits, plenty of barrel, acid, light vinegar. Body is low carbonation & watery, upsetting the taste a bit; Tart wood, agave, sugar, fruity, barrel, acidic, lactic, tannins from the wood, touch wine, faint vinegar. Very nice beer.

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Italian Beer Week-end / Zwanze 2014 CML. Always wanted to try a peated sour (preferably a geuze but this will have to suffice for now). Hazy orange, small creamy white head. Nose is rich peat, rounded orange, nice sour, lemon, touch phenolic Islay profile, very lovely. Taste is mellower peat, orange, light sugar, lemon, light wine, touch phenolic Islay peat in the back, acidic, wet wood smoke. Easy to drink. Very nice, could have used more depth or complexity but never the less, I really enjoyed this one.
