Aug 17, 2002 Very tart, astringent. Great aroma. Lots of cherries, a dry mouthfeel. Very interesting.

Jan 19, 2003 Pours a bright red color with just a little, off-white head. The aroma is magnificent, sweet and tart cherries, both must and wood, and it's slightly vinous. The flavors are not quite as strong as the aroma, but still quite wonderful. Sour cherries, wood, wine, a touch of vinegar and a hint of citrus. A nice balance to both sweet and sour aspects. Neither overpowers the other. A wonderful beer. I've still got one more. Hopefully I can even find others.

Nov 8, 2004 Very cloudy brown-red color, thin ring of white foarm on top. Aroma of cherries, dark bread, and chocolate cake. Tart, yeasty end to the aroma. Similar characteristics in the flavor except that the cherry tartness comes out more. Dry, tart finish. A delicious desert beer, thanks go to Matt (MrFacto) for sharing this one with me!

May 22, 2006 Bottle at Le Biere Circus 3/06
Bottle was brought up from the cellar with an unreal amount of dust and cobwebs.I don’t know if you can manufacture dust and cobwebs but if you can it was well worth it for the appearance and made it worth the 15 euros I spent.Crystal clear amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma of wood/oak,cherries,slighlty acidic and sweet. Flavor is of sweet malt,sour cherries.

Jun 12, 2003 smells of vinegar and spice. Tart, sour (the good kind) and very sharp on the tongue.Cheery sweet with just the right amount of sourness to compliment, the oak really comes thru. This is very good

Nov 23, 2004 DC/MD/VA/WV/PA gathering. Hazy reddish brown, very small tan fizzy head. Could smell this beer all day if given the chance. Tons of wood, oak, earth, and dried sweet cherry. Well balanced with sweet and sour battling to the finish. Medium to full bodied, pillow soft carbonation, drying cherry and oak finish. Just awesome!

Sep 10, 2002 The best of the best when it comes to fruity beers. A sweet cherry taste tops off this fine Belgian Ale. I just wish I could find it now that it’s no longer brewed...

May 26, 2005 04.10.05 All too small bottle thanks to EDA. Deep redtoned brown pour like cherry wine made in 2002. Voluminous khaki head slowly fades leaving lazy pillows of lace about the glass like cloud animals. Aroma is sour, cherries, woody, calvados. Brutally sour first sip is awash in fresh cherries, early season, just picked. Lots of wood, caramel. It’s clean, dry, astringent to a fault to finish. It’s excellent but makes me thirsty for more. Thanks for this special treat, Mike!
