75cl, Bottle 234/300, new exclusive brew Anno 2012, from De Hopduvel Gent, very complex sour Kriek, vinous/sour and slightly woody, balanced, cloudy, nearly no head, very good brew, yet expensive!

Bottle shared at bu11zeye’s 10,000th tasting. The beer pours a brown color with a white head. The aroma has a ton of toffee and tart cherries, which meld very well together. The flavor is fairly similar, with a few additions. The tart cherries and toffee mix very well, and are complimented by some biscuit malt, a little bit of leather and some earthiness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
