Bottle... Poured deep, ruby-red with a thin, off-white head. Aroma of wine and oak. Lots of carbonation and very foamy palate. Definitely cherries there in the flavor but a very strong sour/tartness that was dominant. Finished with tart fruit and plum notes.

Sampled on draught: Pours a bright bright ruby red colour with an enormous white head. Aroma is fruity and enticing, licorice, raspberries and cherries on the nose. Taste is creamy, definately well carbonated in the mouthfeel. Flavours of cherries, peaches and soft oak.

Full aroma of sweet cherries and oak. Pours a clear deep red with a compact pink head. Flavor is cherries and vanilla, whose sweetness offsets a long bitter woody finish. Dry on the finish, has the sensation in common with many dubbels where it seems to evaporate off the tongue. More a sipper than a drinker.

Never seen a redder beer in my life - beautiful. Looks like a much redder Duchesse. Mild, pungent, fruity aroma - predominantly cherries and grapes. The flavor is more superficial than Duchess, with more cherries and a bit more tartness. Possibly a bit metallic / artificial. Still very good, but no Duchesse.

On tap at Stone. Yum Yum Yum. Smells sour with a background of funkiness. Farmy undertones. Wonderful brown red color. Taste is good, but the leftovers are great. This funkiness in the aftertaste hangs out and bounces around the mouth for a long time. The quote I wrote at the time was the leftovers hang out and party in my mouth.
