330 ml bottle. Bought around Christmas 2015, drank October, 2018. Properly cellared.
Look - dark mahogany opaque. Easy pour lead to beige half inch head which receded to a thin layer throughout, leaving some thin artful lacing.
Smell - sour and piercing.
Taste - similar to an Oud Bruin, but somewhat less intense. Sour and tart. I'm getting more red wine barrel and fruit in the taste than anything else.
Feel - more on the lighter side.
Overall - enjoyed this one, but not overly so compared to other sours. Would like to try one with more of a bourbon or whiskey barrel presence from another year to compare. Still a good solid offering that I greatly enjoyed, cheers!

Beautiful dark mahogany with a nice fluffy head that dissipated into a thin lacing.
Funky lambic aroma. Reminds me of Duchesse De Bourgogne. Slight aroma of wooden barrels and hops when swirled.
Taste vinegar sour, with a bit of hops and woody taste (from the barrels?).
Light-medium body mouthfeel. Carbonation is spot on for my tastes.
Besides the tartness, there's a strange aftertaste that does not agree with me. I like that it finishes dry, but I don't like the astringency.
