| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 31, 2007 From a 375mL Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with black
cherry skin hues and a thin layer of fizzy tan head. Excessively
sweet aroma of cherry syrup with a bit of a medicinal quality. Notes
of chocolate and balsamic vinegar. Medium bodied, mildly spritzy carbonated mouthfeel. Very sweet cherry flavors with some funky oak and an almost nyquil-like spice quality. Heavy and sticky on the palate with earthy balsamic sourness and unpleasant spice. Overly sweet with a medicinal artificial cherry flavor and an unpleasant spicy quality that ruins the palate. ogglethorp (890), Ohio, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with ruby hues and a thin, spotty-lacing light tan head. Aroma of fresh, earthy oaky cherry and semi-sweet dark caramel malt. Body starts with an earthy tart cherry fruitiness along with some mild vegetal flavor before a drier oaky cherry finish. Fairly true to style and well made, a nice fruit lambic. hotstuff (3180), Indiana, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Corked & caged bottle Small tan head that mostly diminished with virtually no lacing, semi-opaque, reddish-brown hue, and visible carbonation. Nose was sweet, alcohol, tart, and sour cherries. Ditto for the flavor with no real vinuousness. Smooth mouthfeel and light body. Nothing outstanding IMO.
