May 16, 2008 Draft… DLD’08… Clear, fairly dark, burnt orange ale with a mid-sized, fizzy, white head. The aroma is straightforward and all about funk and cherries. Medium-bodied with lazy carbonation. Moderately tart, but that’s about it. Not a whole lot along the lines of fruit or cherries. Tart, watery finish.

Apr 28, 2008 I like the Frambozen version better (although I normally prefer Krieks), but this is yet another dandy from Matt & Andrew. It poured a hazy brownish-red with just small amounts of both head and lace. It had a fresh, tart dark cherry aroma, mildly funky, with a touch of oak and some earthy hops. A bit of cherry pit bitterness and a light fruity sourness are added to the flavor of this smooth & soothing ale. The finish is dry and fruity. Quite nice.

Apr 27, 2008 Tap at the pre-DLD party at Flossmoor, thanks Matt and Andrew for this:
Hazy red hue with a small head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of tart cherry, slight lacto funk, oak, herbal hop, and dusty yeast esters. The taste has a nice balance of fruit and biscuity malt with a dry oak finish. A touch of wild yeast notes adds to the depth of palate. The mouth feel is slightly chewy, dry and a tad chalky. Overall it was a very drinkable brew, Mikey Likey!
