FatPhil (2367), Espoo, Finland Oct 7, 2008 330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Bold red, brief fizzy head. Slight cherry nose. Quite a sweet, but also tangy and bitter palate. There’s a decent malty body to this, and a fair hoppy bite. The cherry extract makes its presence felt too, bitter and sweet, but not so fruity as such. More bier than krieken, but that’s quite pleasant. Finish is the tingle of the hops and the rich maltiness more than the cherry. Skinnyviking (2725), Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 3, 2008 Bottle. High fluffy but lasting off-white head. Clear very dark brown body. Powerful roasted malt aroma with caramel, cocoa, nuts and of course cherries. Weak cherries flavor with caramel. Too sweet and sugary for my taste. Low carbonation. Short sweet aftertaste.
