Dark brown to black in color with minimal head pores into a challis

Smell of mild balsamic vinegar, and malt

Taste is well balanced. Easy and smooth. Taste of leather and mild fruit.

Medium bodied mouth feel

Overall a great and unique beer. It was shared among 3 friends and all enjoyed it.

750ml bottle. Dated May 10th, 2014 from lot 43, 2012. $2

Looks finely reddish brown, hazy to cloudy. Good head of foam.

Smells bitter, fruit tarty, a little bit of the sweet. Overall, kinda nasty.

Tastes worse than it smells. The tart fruit comes across as spoiled, the bitterness acentuates the ill feeling that I have for what it does to my palate. A few sweet notes here and there.

Mouthfeel is okay.

I paid $2 and feel overcharged.

Poured with a nice half inch head which dissipated quickly. Nice light flavor but lacked the complexity and flavor profile of a Belgian-style. Drinkable and inoffensive but for the price I was hoping for more.
