VINTAGE 1996. Je savais que quelque chose de spéciale m’attendait lorsque je pris ce vieux liège dans mes mains pour le humer. Dès le premier contact avec le liquide brouillé de rouge aux reflets bourgogne, une image claire de l’endroit de garde où aurait pu séjourner cette bouteille se manifesta... Organique, vieille cave humide, terre moisie, sirop aux parfums de cerises. Les empreintes laissées par le liège fonctionnent très bien et ne prennent miraculeusement pas toute la place. Tartrique en bouche, suggérant fidèlement le fruit entrant dans sa création. Texture sirupeuse, corps d’épaisseur moyenne à pleine, presque aucune carbonatation (ce qui semble encore une fois être à l’avantage de cette bière) Merci beaucoup Rastacouere !

Bottle. Blood red, no head, sweet, cherry, cinammon, raisins, ginger, nearly glogg.

2002, cold 500 ml bottle. Pours flat with just a few bubbles. It’s a cherry beer all right. Not too cloying, tart or sweet. Just like flat cherry soda. Good for what it is. I’ve been mulling around with the idea to drink it hot.

’02 vintage. Sampled cold, room temp & warm. Aroma is real heavy on the cinammon cherry side. Reminds me of a cherry pie. Clear red in color / no head. Palate is a tad thin but doesn’t deter from the beer. Little alcohol flavor on the finish. The more sips I take, the more I like this so I guess you could say it’s really drinkable. Some wine-like qualities.

wow this was excellent, poured a bronze/ reddish copper color, good smell of cherries and alcohol, the taste was like a sweet red wine, without the dryness, smooth flavor of cherries and alcohol, excellent, excellent beer.

2002 Bottle. Room Temperature. Pours reddish with no head. Aroma strong with cherry. Flavor starts sweet with hints of spice (cinnamon, clove?). Tart finish. 8%ABV? Did not seem that high. Little carbonation. Goes down very easy. Very nice ale.

Pours thin, almost too watered down. Aroma is freshly baked cherry pie. Taste is a field of cherries, with a touch of strawberry. A cobbler-like feel is prevalent throughout, as if I am drinking a cherry cobbler pie (and all you English RBeerers can snicker now). Resembles a cold mulled spice drink best enjoyed at Christmas. The thin palate keeps this from being an awesome brew, but it is impressive nonetheless. Thanks to Kevin for taking me to the S-N-K liquor store. Definite repeat.
