Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8
Two bottles courtesy of fishingnet and tpd975. Pours brownish amber copper with tan head. The aroma is full with loads of wild yeast fighting it out creating tartness and sour rotting lemons, notes of wood and faint vanilla. I also get some grapes and cherries too. The taste has a quick pulse of sweetness that quickly fades away leaving behind tartness and mild sourness. It seems the sour rotting fruit grows momentarily before extreme tartness takes over. The tartness finally lets up a bit in the finish as I can get vague fruitiness around the edges. Zero sense of the ABV (was this an NA brew?).

2005 Bottle - my #1500 rating: Poured a deep dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is strong with dark fruits, woods, and wine characteristic. Taste is nice fruit with a wood bite, finish is dry with a caramel twist. I’m glad I waited for a memorable time to drink this one. This aged perfect in my mind, can’t wait to try versus a fresher one.

Large tan head with a good lace. Murky brown color. Fruity nose, plums, raisins, cherries, wood and some alcohol. Medium body, medium sourness.Oakey, mildly acidic, cherry and alcohol flavors also.As it warms more alcohol comes through balancing out the acidity and fruityness, some how. Finish is dry, kinda thin.

Pours clearish mahogany with a nice eggshell head. Aroma features tart dark fruit, red wine, a little malt. Flavor gives tart cherry with a little plum, red wine, roast malt, a little wood. Texture presents firm body and peppy fizz. Reserve some while you can.

I had this beer at Den Tatoverede Enke (The Tattooed Widow) in Copenhagen, Denmark. This beer was perhaps the best beer of the trip. It was RICH with cherrie flavors, sourness, and funk. I loved this beer and would pick it up again anytime I see it. This was my first beer by De Dolle and it won't be my last. De Dolle is expensive but they are artisans!

Interesting brew. '08 version. Sampled at Commons bottle share. Dark reddish brown. some red wine notes and apple cinnamon mid-palate. Tart fruits, plummy and definately a little hotness. Even after all those years.

February 2011 Vertical Tasting: Enjoyed samples from 2008 and 2007. All around a nice Belgian Sour with rich malts intertwined by mixed fruits and funky yeasts. 2008 was refreshingly tart, sturdy and mature. It was also the better of the two bottles. 2007 came off as a touch diluted/muted compared to 2008.

13%. not expecting sour, but it was definitely there in the flavor and aroma. what a nice little surprise. very complex. fruity malt, vinous, oak, tart, all rolled into a nice little package. not available around here or i'd get more.
