[1] Review by Vac from San Diego, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/16/2008 10:37:12 AM)
"Bottle at Toronado San Diego shared by Mikkel of Mikkeller Brewing...thanks! Pours with a slightly cloudy, amber body topped by a medium thick to thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sour with a slight tart note, some funk and a little sweet maltiness to round it out. Lihgt to medium bodied and dry."

"This Belgian Strong pours a slightly cloudy reddish amber color from a 750ml corked bottle. Large sized white foamy head, with good retention and excellent lacing. The aroma is fruity, with lots of oak and some serious funk. A medium bodied BSA. The malts are fruity and sweet; there are lots of oak, red wine and funk flavors here as well, lots of funk, horse blanket and tartness with a nice maltyness in the background. Very complex, there are a lot of flavors mixing and matching here. The brett and sourness are coming forward and competing with all that barrel stuff. Very nice. Lively carbonation. Hides the alcohol well. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly tart and funky. "

[3] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (3/1/2008 8:14:33 AM)
"Bottled. Thanks to omhper for this crazy beer. Pours out in a cloudy reddish brown colour with a low creamy white foam. Plenty aromas screaming for attention tart red berries, melon, wood, cork, funk, over-riped cherries and dark malts. Woody and funky full flavour of stable, berries, grapefruit, pears soaked in syrup, juniper and pepper. Full-bodied. Woody long aftertaste lemon, immature raspberries, grapefruit and peppery alcohol. WOW!. "

"Bottled. Hazy nutbrown colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is sour berries and acidic wood, some mild notes of cherries. Flavour is also very sour and acidic fruits and berries along with some earth and yeast. Very nice brew. "

[5] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/20/2008 2:22:19 PM)
"NorCal Feb '08 - Not your everyday Belgian Strong is an understatement. A fantastic trip for your tastebuds to enjoy as this beer covers a lot of flavors most Belgian Strong's don't. The aroma is oaky, fruity with a strong emphasis on tart cherriess, bretty, and lightly acidic. Flavors are nearly on par with the nose, but adds some caramel sweetness up front like some kind of cherry/caramel dessert. It also has a subtle wine character to the whole beer, but maybe that's the brett and oak coming together. Excellent beer! "
