Apr 2, 2009 (bottle from Fat Cat, Norwich) Poured a dark red with no head. Big tart cherry smell, a little maltines - generally a wild brilliance. Not synthetic at all. Taste is lovely sour cherries with medicinal hints and a little sweetness. Very nice with a strong pronounced flavour that reeks of authenticity. On Zak Avery’s advice I tried some chocolate with it. A flavour combination made in heaven. Delicious.

Apr 1, 2009 Not a dainty looking Kriek, which is how I like them. The boisterous head disappears in seconds.
Its cherry aromas are very fresh and syrupy sweet. The smells almost make me feel claustrophobic they are so thick.
It’s really fizzy with an immediate sour kick that really gets up your nose. Fades to really good fruit flavours but is a little intensely sweet in the finish for my liking. Very tingly and a little bit gassy.
