This pours a deep copper color with a tall, fizzy tan head. The aroma is delicate, light fruits and some malt sweetness. The hardy ABV is well-hidden, both in aroma and taste. It’s smooth to drink, a spicy cherry flavor with solid malts and some real yeasty fruitiness. Dry finish. Tasty and warming.

Bottle. I liked this quite a bit, it’s like Chimay Bleu with a bit of plastic in the taste and a slightly thinner mouthfeel. And of course, it wasn’t a 7-year old sample that led to my inflated 4.9 rating of the stuff. Bready taste and flavor. Strong, heavy malts. Prominent yeast, some grapes, plum. Feels about right for 8.5%, with the alcohol just peeking out like my ex-girlfriend’s thongs always did. Oh, how I love modern fashion. Good stuff.

Copper brown body with thin tan lacing head that rings the glass. Caramel, spice, fruity aroma. Malty spicy caramel cherry flavor with smooth creamy palate.

(bottle) dark red-brown colour with a creamy off white head. Aroma is a well blended combination of cherry fruits and cramellish malts. Bittersweet flavour. Slight roastmalty taste with a smooth vinous touch and a lasting spicy (cinnamon) dry finish.

Tasted 03/05/2005. 330ml bottle (exp. 19/07/06) from New World Metro, Wellington. Pours a beautiful, spiralling, efferevescent and bright, reddish amber. The head is large, off-white, and creamy turning to rocky. Light lacing. Sweet boiled candy and sour fruit are suggested in the nose at first, followed by liqourice and a touch of soap later. Candy, cognac, spices and wood come through in the flavour that is sweet first, followed by a touch of aniseed and a subtle woody, tannic, bitterness. I thought there would be more sour influence in the flavour. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Palate is warming, with some more spicey woodiness. Very pleasant and much more well balanced than other reviews suggest.

(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish brown ale. Pronounced bitterness with a very complex aroma. Fruity, perfumy but far from cloying. A very spicy and unique brew. 120493
