Pours a deep ruby amber, with a thick pillowy head. Lots of fruit on the nose - tart cherries up front, followed by raspberries and plums, caramel and brown sugar - like a fruit pie. Dry, and with lots of carbonation it drinks almost like a champagne. The perfect amount of tartness to complement the sweet flavors matching the aroma - cherries and plums. Also a bit of raisins and hops, with an incredibly dry finish. The carbonation seems a bit much for me, and the flavor not quite as strong as I like, but overall a very tasty ale.

Pours burnt caramel with a meringue like fluffy, cream colored head. The nose is ruch and sweet with dried fruits, caramel and brown sugar. The flavor is quite the same with more fruit influence. Clean finish.

33cl bottle from Belgianshop. It poured a dark amber colour with a huge creamy white head that settled down very slowly in the glass. The aroma smells of dark fruits, roasted malts, caramel and alcohol. The flavour is dry and bitter, almost sour and tastes of alcohol, raisins and plum. It has a short aftertaste.
