Vichtenaar
330ml bottle bought from BelgainShop.com.. Poured a dark mahogany red colour. Light yellowy mocha head poured quite small but thick and meringue like then faded quite quickly to decent wispy covering... some light lacing... Aroma - Strong typical Flanders red ale sourness, soy sauce, very woody - definite oakiness, light balsamic notes, red wine vinegar, leathery / musty, burnt sugar / toffee notes, dark treacle, some nuttiness, some light pepperiness, some sour cherry and fig fruitiness.. Taste Good balance of sweet and sour - maybe slightly more sweet... strong treacle / dark grown muscovado, lightly roasted nuttiness, oaky, sweet soy sauce, salty, balsamic vinegar, light pepperiness, chocolate and cherries mixed together... Feel - Very smooth and rich... medium bodied.. Pretty drinkable although the sweetness might become a bit much for more than one in a sitting... Overall - Another top notch Flanders red from Verhaeghe... Almost up there with the Duchesse De Bourogne... Highly recommended...
