Bottled December 2014. Poured from a 12mL bottle into a pint glass. Acquired as an extra in a trade.

Pours a muddy brown body with an off white head that reduces fairly quickly to leave spotty lacing and a layer of lacing.

Aromas of tart lactic acid, dark fruit, a lightly sweet caramel, herbal, sour fruits.

Heavily tart, nearly sour on the tongue, acidic with a sweet caramel backbone, dark fruits, cherry, dry astringent finish, burnt sugar aftertaste. High carb, medium body.

Solid brew, pretty complex.

Really nice dark Belgium, slight balanced raisin taste. Really enjoyed it but unlike some others I got no real sour taste and no real acid. Enjoyed it and will definitely get more.

Pour is dark ruby red with a tan head. Nose is sherry, vinegar, butyric acid, burnt malt. Flavor is black cherry, roasted malt, a hint of bitterness, sugary through the back end. A touch slick on the feel, moderate carb.
