Pours a cloudy amber-brown with a huge, loose-bubble off-white head. Slightly off aroma, metallic and yeasty. Fruity, tart taste at first - cherry and grape; opens up into a cookie/biscuit taste, slight roasted notes, some slight bittering hops. WAY overcarbonated, I had to use the old milk-frother trick to flatten it out a bit - the carbonation was severly limiting the taste. With an aggressive pour and a huge glass to hold the enormous head, this wouldn’t be such a bad beer.

Jul 2, 2008 Pours a murky brown-maroon color with thin tan frothy head. It has a light sweet chocolate and phenol aroma. Smooth body with a slight stickiness. Caramel and chocolate flavor with some tart cherries and a light spiciness. The tartness is unexpected and makes me wonder whether it was a bad bottle or a flemish influence. Drinkable but lacks depth.
