Tap at spuyten. Pours odd murky orange with no head. Nose is red wine vinegar. Tastes of red wine and red wine vinegar, some sour fruits, wood, some breadiness, and perfume. Kinda odd beer but worthy having.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli. Bottle aged appx. 2.5 years. Pours lightly hazed auburn with a frothy, off-white head. Tangy berries on the nose with mild funky twang, a bit of old leather. Medium sweet flavor with lightly aged, leathery fruits, hints of barnyard, plums, mild figs, cherries, subtle wood, melon and bubblegum. Medium to full bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming to finish with suggestions of woody bitterness, slight bretty diapers, well-ripened berries, some cherries, plums. Quite tasty and very drinkable for the strength. Has just a subtle bit of oud bruin character, which I like. Good depth, nice balance. Solid.

Bottle from Colin (Theydon Bois) had this Tuesday 25th December 2013 at dads Pours very dark brown with light beige head. A little caramel bit of vanilla, nice nose but very gentle. Easy drinking, smooth, soft in the mouth with fine dusty cocoa finish. I like this another interesting Imperial Stout. A7 A4 T8 P3 Ov15 3.7

Bottle from Lambiczoon, Milan; Sour Ale 2009; batch 12/12, bb 31/12/17
Cloudy amber color, with few bubbles, not a real head, apparently undercarbonated. Mild aroma; there is some malt, bread, light sourness, light acetone, and an impression of white wine. It has a subtle carbonation; good malt flavor with moderate and pleasant residual sweetness; the acidity is mild, although it shows some signs of acetone; it’s a bit fruity too and has a light vinous character.
It’s somehow a reachable sour beer for many palates, yet complex enough. Good.

Bottle from Lambiczoon, Milan; vintage 2008, 5 years old; batch 14/08, bb 31/12/2015
Hazy dark amber color with small head. The aroma is strong, woody, a bit sour, fruity and cheesy; later, some moldy notes and very light acetone. Full bodied, smooth, with low carbonation; good malt flavor; at this gravity it still has some residual sugars; the acidity is moderate; more than other Sour beers, this one has a nice fruity presence (apricots and red grapes); low bitterness; balanced final, a bit astringent, and luckily without acetone.
Very good beer.

Bottle from Domus Birrae in Roma based on recommendation from the guy running the place. The beer pours dark brown with a medium thick foamy tan head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit and coffee. Medium to full body with flavors of roast malt, figs, coffee and earthy hops. The finish is malty with a dark fruit aftertaste. Pretty good beer all around.
