22/VII/15 - 75cl bottle from the brewery @ home - BB: VI/2013 (let's hope the markings on the side of the label, to indicate a date, were a bit off, because what brewer would sell his own beer 2 years past date?) (2015-954) Thanks to Dirk V.E. for sharing the beer!
Note: ÜBER GUSHER! Never seen this before, while still twisting the wire cage, suddenly the cork flew off and from the force of the beer gushing out, the bottle just flew out of my hands, killing some glasses and spraying beer all over my guests while spinning around on the table. Yeah, well F U 2!
From what's left: cloudy pale beige beer, huge creamy white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: dusty, lots of honey while gushing, but not much after, C02, soapy. MF: lots of carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bit sweet, sugary, some citrus, very yeasty and weird. Aftertaste: sugary, some honey, card board. Good job, guys! :-(

Little cloudy orange beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: honey, bit sweet, chemical, band-aid. MF: lots of carbon, medium body light body. Taste: bit sourish, dusty, spicy, weird, watery. Aftertaste: slightly bitter, spicy touch, some chlorine, sweet, more honey. Weirdest Belgian impression of a saison thus far.

250mL bottle, best before 2001 (yeah, that's right). Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma is oxidized, but there is still some dark fruit, and a little sourness. Flavour is quite tart and fairly oxidized, but this isn't actually half bad considering how old it is - dark fruits, total absence of bitterness, and a touch of acidity. Would have probably been decent when fresh, but it's a pretty unique experience as is. Can't exactly say it's good, but it's not undrinkable.

Bottle at Quinn’s, Camden Town. Bright gold with a large white head. Slightly sulphurous smell, with some hard citrus and candy sugar notes. Taste is sweet and slightly syrupy with sulphurous notes. Unlike any beer I’ve had. Lightly carbonated palate.

Flaske, delt med Ovesen mens vørteren kjølner: klar, dyp brunrød med fint offwhite skum. Mer bær og mindre mørk sjokoladesnop enn det jeg forbinder med stilen, men absolutt konsumeringsverdig. God uten å være minneverdig.
