Red-brown ale, clear; foxy-brown, fluffy head, not very stable. Chocolate fudge, dark malts, going into fully malt nose, sweet. Fresher, woodier and much more bitter taste than the nose impression. It’s an ale, but the Flemish brown character from the brewery is stamped all over it. Bit inky flavour, harsh, but not sourish until the finish with a slight woody-lactic acid. Thin, metallic mouthfeel, light bodied, slightly slick feel. Aftertaste is still harsh-bitterish with the flavour of bitter chocolate. The Roman yeast will always convey this harsh-metallic flavours. Best is still the Cnudde-variant. Not uninteresting, however.

Clear ruby color, short frothy brown head. Aroma of caramel malts. Caramel malty taste, very thin. I expected a flemish sour ale, but this is nowhere near! What a disappointment.
