Bottle from 11026. Hazy dirty red, highly carbonated. Aroma is rather muted cherry, vanilla, oak. Flavor is almost alco-pop. Cherry sweetness up front, faint oak/woodiness through the middle. Carbonation really cleans the palate. Decent overall.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Cloudy reddish brown color with a small bone colored head. Nose is maple syrup and sour cherries with some old wood. Taste is a tad bit meaty but comes across very balanced and sweet with cherries one the back end and some oak. Nice, I like it.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Pours with a nice off-white head that leaves good lacing. Hazy reddish brown body. Aroma of caramel, sourness, cherries, more sour and oak. Taste is sour upfront and gets a bit more fruity as it warms (but not as much as the aroma suggests). Lightly fizzy.

Pours a brown/red with slight beige head. Aroma is somewhat acidic, citrus and wild cherry. Flavor is very nice, acidic with light wild cherry and a little barnyard funk and wood, sour. Mouthfeel is champaign like, light body, and fizzy. Overall, very nice and refreshing

Aug 16, 2008 Dark brown with a pink tinged head. Nice sour cherry, caramel, musty aroma with some oak. Medium body. Flavor is fresh sour cherry with wet wood and some caramel sweetness. A tasty sour red but not as dry or complex as the better Belgian examples.
