Nov 5, 2007 Updated: Nov 6, 2007Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a very dark red with a frothy beige head which dissipates to leave moderate lacing. Aroma of cherries is more reminiscent of a lambic. The flavour is very fruity (a sour cherry flavour that has already been noted by other drinkers), but the dominant presence of alcohol makes it unbalanced. It is, however, nice on the palate, with pleasant tingling from the carbonation and warmth from the alcohol.

Nov 1, 2007 Pours cloudy dark red. A light flowery aroma which is laced with alcohol. Also picking up some sour cherries. A sip is initially quite chewy and sweet with sour cherry like flavour. The late middle and finish bring a huge dose of yeast. Medium to full bodied. It’s not bad... but it seems rather unbalanced. Update: The huge yeast edge seems to disappear somewhat after half the glass (warmth?). Gains a flavour point.

Oct 13, 2007 Great looking bottle. Aroma is full of fruit and the flavor follows suit. One of the fruitiest beers I have tried. Plenty of alcohol provides lots of warming. A great beer.

Oct 13, 2007 Pours out a reddish brown with a fairly thick tan head. Aroma coming off is fairly sweet but seemed balanced enough. One sip and I can tell this is going to be fairly typical Belgian Strong. Yeast, sweetness, spice, and a touch of hops. I will say this beer wasn’t as cloying as some of these Belgian Strongs can be so because of that this get some decent remarks. Not bad, not great.

Sep 7, 2007 Bottled.
Dark amber with a large, off-white head.
Slightly metallic and also with some vegetable-notes. Too much alco-feel. Fancy bottle and appearance, but bland in flavour.
