I dunno whether to describe this...everyone knows what it looks like it’s almost an icon so i’m not going to bother, the main thing for me is the lovely nutty almond flavour to it that reminds me of sucking cherry stones.

On tap at the Muddy Pig in St. Paul. Murky reddish brown. Aroma - Sweet and Malty. Sour cherry taste, but not overly tart. Very nice blend of sweet and sour.

2006 bottle best by 1/2017. deep purple color with a peach head. sour/tart cherries on the nose along with some nice funk. smooth on the palate with a great cherry flavor that finishes nice and sour.

Draft, from one of the kegs before the Moortgat version is out. Red-maroon color with pink-tinted head. Sweet candy-cherry nose. Tastes even sweeter, like candy maraschino. Slight lemony tang. Too cloying. I’m wondering if this might actually improve under Duvel.
