12/31/07, 12oz bottle, thanks to pantanap for this one. pours dark red with off white head. nose of caramel, cherry pit, brown sugar, oak. flavor of vanilla, red fruit, toffee, brown sugar. mouth feel is bit thin. good stuff.

bottle thanks to KrausenJockey..... poured an opaque reddish brown with an off-white head....aromas of sweet caramel malt and just the slightest hint of cherrries. very strong on the caramel and vanilla front......flavors of caramel and hints of cherries. very malt-forward and wished that more of the fruit came through in this one.

Another very generous gift from Aspidites. 2004. WOW. THANKS MIKE. Hand bottle shared with a few people by me at the Cleveland tasting...We did it all incognito in the driveway even! I cant give an accurate pour description, because it was dark. Sorry. This was a very interesting beer. Very interesting combo of two styles, one I like (dubbel) one I am not fond of (Krieks) but this blended well. Sweet taste of malts and cherries. Tasted like a cherry sweet tart! Thanks again for sharing this with us Mike!

(Bottle, courtesy of KrausenJockey) Pours a murky reddish-brown body with a spare ring of off-white bubbles atop. Aroma of cherry Robitussin, some dark chocolate, biscuit, and caramel. Flavor of cherry cough syrup, toasted malt, and caramel.

From "handbottle" - Beautiful deep very red amber chestnut colored body with a big beige head; Quite big nose with lots of caramel malty aromas, very sweet creme caramel with some watery cherry skin and meat aromas that thins the nose more then it adds to it; Strange body, very soft texture, very soft carbonation, somehow it has a strange bitting bitterness and lots of crushed cherry pit harshness, almost like soft tannin; Quite long finish where the pit harshness stays all the way through, caramel sweet, some acidity as well, overripe (meaning to ripe) cheery meat aromas, malty with a slight alcohol scent as well, This might be the strangest composed beer I ever had. Thanks!

12oz - hand bottled by Steve of VB - Aroma of sweet chocolate malts, cherry and red licorice. Pours ruby red with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is mostly cherries with creamy milk chocolate maltiness smoothing it all out. Palate is creamy and smooth. A nice brew to be sure.

Bottle. Cloudy dark amber colour with a reddish shine and with a weak head. Aroma of dried fruit, oak sweetness and maltness. Also flavour of maltness, alcohol, dried fruit and somewhat a very speciel aftertaste.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of KrausenJockey. Pours a hazy, reddish amber with a small, beige head. Sweet’n’tart fruit aroma with berry-like hints. Medium in body, sweetish fruity with some roasted malt and a wee touch of diacetyl I believe. No real bitterness. 090407
