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.

Bottle... This beer rocks!... Mostly clear, red-orange ale with a small, fizzy, pinkish head. Earthy, fruity aroma with notes of black cherries, lemon, damp wood and leather. The flavor is fairly sour... no sweetness; no bitterness. Fruity and woodsy. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Finishes sour and fruity. Finally dries out. World class!

Hazy blush with a thin white head. Fresh, tart cherry aroma. Sweet and sour cherry flavor with a long saccharine acid finish. Nice flavors but a bit sweet.

Bottled:
Very sourly with much acid and cider notes. Only a touch of cherry flavor. Sourly, astringent finish. Acid notes are maybe too extreme.

Sampled at Zythos. Light red color with a small head. Solid tart taste with hardly any sweetness. Sampled with Hanssens jelly that made the pairing very tasty.

Aroma is great, quite cherry, lemons, a bit of clove? Taste is similar quite sour, maybe a bit of vinigar, something to have before dine maybe.

Thanks to biggcb for this... Appears a hazy orange amber with a small white head that quickly fades into a mild collar in the glass. Smell is of cork, tart cherries, horseblanket, musty antiques, & old socks. Taste is of tart, vinegar soaked, sour cherries with mild cork present in the taste. Mouthfeel is bone dry, mouth puckering, and acidic.
