Murky dark brown. Muted, somewhat muddled chocolate and fresh squeezed orange juice in the aroma. Quite bitter orange peel & pith seems to dominate a light chocolatey brew.

Hazy dark brown. Arousing aroma is spicy (cinnamon, ginseng, eucalyptus, menthol, mint) with light dark malts. Creamy body with assertive spice notes and decadent chocolate malts. The finish is stiff all right, with a lot of spice and quite a bit of peppery alcoholic dryness. The funniest part of drinking this beer was when I asked the brewer about the "active ingredient", yohimbe, and he started explaining about how long your cock stays hard. After 6000+ beers, that was a first for me.

Murky beige colour. The aroma is a bit fruity and vaguely malty. Flavour is very sweet up front with a sugary/caramel flavour. The alcohol dries it out in the finish. A tough one to get a handle on, but if you vibe off the unique caramel notes as I did, this is a nice beer.

I must disagree with the others.This was horrible.Visually unappealing.Slightly sour, but overpoweringly acetic, to the point of ordering fries to pour it on. A very poor offering Many years later, this is even worse

Cloudy, slighlty purplish brown colour. Aroma is fruity, with cobweb mustiness and some slightly plasticy notes - a byproduct of the fruit probably. Strong acid flavour - mainly lactic but a fair bit of acetic, too, accented by fruit, leather and wood. Puckering finish. It doesnβt have the smoothness nor cleanliness of a world class lambic but is quite tasty and would be good for blending.

2005: Hazy reddish-amber colour. Hazy Scotch nose. Seriously, just like scotch. Lots of alcohol and a bit of peat. Mass whiskey flavour like a bottle of scotch was dumped into a cask of Scottish Ale. As a beer, this is pretty poorly constructed but I like the taste of it so I canβt give it low scores. It works, even though Iβm not sure it deserves to.
2004: Golden-brown colour. Aroma of peat, maple, herbal hints, caramel. Oily body. Lots of malty sweetness, hint of grassy hop. Smooth, sugary sweet finish. Ar 5 Ap 3 F 5 P 2 O 12 = 2.7

Sour body with raspberry and caramel, borderline Irish Ale and has a very malty body and finish. Didn't do much for me.

Was made in 1997 and they slowly sell the stuff. Once this is gone they have a black current lambic which they haven't even started on yet!! Very subtle hint of cherries underlay a sour ass beer. Damn this beer will have you puckering for a week!!
