Oct 18, 2009 The cherry aroma is overwhelms the first sniff, but as the beer warms in the glass, the aroma more complex with hints of citrus and sugar. The flavor is good, very fruity, containing a complex sweetness. Nice color and nice thickness, creamy but slightly crisp.

Oct 16, 2009 The head on this one was awesome. Very alive beer. Nice carbonation and great color. Smells just as good as it tastes. Rich colors and rich taste. Taste like a great Belgian beer with the twist of cherry thrown in. Loved the alcohol finish. Speaking of cherry totally caught me off guard at first! (should have read the label) but loved them. Very strong cherry taste comes through near the end of this delicious beer. 9.8 ABV... oof what a good one. Lots of bread , flavor galore and the head was fizzing like crazy and actually grows which is really cool and gives this one a great personality. Three philosophers = three thumbs up!

Oct 15, 2009 This beer has a nice mild barley wine aroma with a hint of fruit. The feel is not too thick. It hits the tongue with a subtle malt taste and finishes with a note of raisins.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle. Definite cherry smell and taste, as advertised. It has the quad feel to it - the richness, the spiciness, the dark fruits, but it’s balanced with the cherry flavor. I like cherry flavor, don’t get me wrong, but I honestly think it would be better sans cherry. I liked it, I’ll buy it again, but I wasn’t "oh my god" wow’ed by it.

Oct 13, 2009 Cherry vinegar, brown sugar and cinnamon on the nose, some hints of peach. Dark brown/orange color, big frothy tan head, nice lacing. Clove caramel sweetness, some lavender oil and tart cherry pit bitterness. Huge carbonation, medium body, orange pith bitter finish with sweet and tart cherry brandy alcohol warming finish. Very tasty and interesting beer. The cherry component is somewhat subtle, but it makes a big impact throughout this beer making it complex and unique.
