12 oz bottle 2008, pours brown with ruby hue and moderately high carbonation. Fruity aroma and flavor, plus brown sugar, plum, carmel and cherry. Medium viscosity with velvety mouthfeel and mineral finish that hides alcohol.

Truly a great ale. Lovely sweet malty, toasty aroma. Taste to match... and a good body. This one is definitely a keeper.

Beautiful dark reddish brown color. Pour from the bottle with a light brown head which dissipates quickly. The light cherry taste adds a pleasant change to the already flavorful beer.

Bottle at House of Brews in NYC. Solid showing from the ’gang from Cooperstown. Borderline candidate for the Hall of Fame. Dark reddish color with a beige head. Aroma of malt, spices, and dark fruits. Flavor is vinous with sweet malt with lots of cherry flavors. Fairly strong alcohol. Fairly full palate. Not for rookies.

Bottle vintage 2007: Pours a dark amber with a nice, creamy beige head. A malty and intimidating nose with sweetness and Belgian spices. A little yeast and light florals. Taste is a deep malt flavor with a sweet caramel and vinous blend. Belgian spices and a fruity tingle before the malty tail takes over. Very nice.

pours a red color with a great big head that quickly dissipates to a small film. spicy with an acrid, acidic cherry flavor that cuts in sharply across the malt flavors

Bottle. Pours a rusty red with tan head which disapperars quickly. Aroma is malty sweet with a hint of spice, nutmeg mostly. Sweet flavor with hints of cinnamon, cherries, banana, and malt. Nice palate, has a kick without being too fizzy. Alcohol is present. Very good, worth a try.

Reddish copper color with a generous head. Interesting beer, the lambic adds a twist. Noticeable alcohol strength. Cherry and sweet maltiness in the flavors and the aromas.
