Commercial Description:
This is the result of blending black cherries lambic of different ages followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. Storage is similar like geuze. All bottles are champagne corked and can be reserved, in normal conditions, for more than thirty years. It is obvious that an amazing taste evolution takes place.

Pours a reddish brown with a thin almost non-existent head. The aroma was sour, tart, definitely cherry. Bretty smell. The flavor is also tart cherry, sour oakey taste. Delicious. The palate was fairly carbonated, but not as much as something like Lindeman’s. Had it at a tasting with a group of people who hadn’t been exposed to good beer. The verdict was thumbs up.

Bottle. Pours a clear pinkish/brown color with a small pinkish/white head. Tart and sligtly sour cherry aroma. The flavor starts out sweet then the tart sourness hits you. Lots of cherries in the flavor. Dry sourish finish with some hints of cherries in the aftertaste.

375ml, pours clear blood red with very small white head around the rim. nose has oak, sour cherries, cinnamon, vinegar, peanut brittle, perfume, and sour notes. very pungent nose. flavor is pretty astringent and acidic, oaky, musty, very sour and sweet cherries. i think i might prefer this with 5+ years of age because at this point it’s too acidic. tasty but lacks the delicacy of a fine lambic.

Tasted at Holiday Wine Cellar. Clear deep red with slight white head. Aroma of red wine vinegar. Very tangy bright palate. Intense sour taste with a lingering sourness in the finish.
