Small whitish rim over veiled amber-red beer. Lactic acid, sour cherry, old portwine, soured red wine, red preserved fruit. Very complex, intricate aromas. Quite harsh acids, lactic and fruitacids, old wine and sherry-like flavours, "flor". Preserved red fruit again, and in the very finish tobacco and tonka beans. Slick, oily feel, film-like, and light lipsmacking acidity, acidthinning. Even more complex than what I recall from the base Dirty Horse beer. Quite remarkable brew, give it any time!

Bottle from Etre but been in the cellar a while, not sure what year this is.
Cloudy dark brown with out much carbonation or head left. Cherry lactic nose, caramel fruity tart oxidized flavor. Not bad but was probably better fresh.

Bottle: Poured a dark murky brown color ale with a large off-white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of caramelized sugar with some candi sugar notes and some bourbon notes with light woody notes. Taste is also a mix of caramelized malt notes with some bourbon notes and residual candi sugar notes and some light oxidation notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable BA Belgian ale but the bottle is maybe a tad tired and would have been better fresh.
