| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 24, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Ludow Wines. Pours a slightly cloudy gold with a one-finger white head. Aroma of cherry, oak, farmhouse funk, honey, yeast, and alcohol. Light cherry flavor, with a good balancing aged oak, warming alcohol, caramel, yeast, and sweet malts. Medium bodied and sweet, with a touch of tartness from the cherries and a smooth quality from the malts and honey. Very nice, drinkable beer that I wish I had tried a little fresher rather than sitting on it for a few months. fonefan (11099), VestJylland, Denmark

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 23, 2009 Pours a golden honey colored liquid. One inch head of loose creamy white foam. Minimizes to a thin layer of white bubbles fairly quickly, but they stick around. Lacing is minimally spotty.
Definite cherry smell, although it is light. Hints of oak. Slight band aid notes. Light yeasty quality.
The woody oak flavor comes through, fairly strong. Yeasty and breadlike. Very light touch of cherry presence. Not as much as expected. Light hints of caramel malts and a touch of hops. Maybe the oak-aging overpowered the cherry presence.
Light body, with a sharp finish. Not as creamy as expected.
Alcohol is fairly well hidden. Although this beer is not exactly what I envisioned it to be, it is light, refreshing, well balanced and pretty darn drinkable. jcr (1149), Jasper, Indiana, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Bomber. Clear pale gold body with a white, fizzy head, mostly diminishing. Aroma of sour cherry, nail polish remover, alcohol, rubber. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter and lightly to moderately tart. The finish also leaves a slight astringent taste of lacquer and flavor of alcohol. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The flavors, combined with the alcohol, don’t work together. Unpleasant. bierkoning (6025), La Tropica, Netherlands
