harrisoni (9608) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - MAR 20, 2009
From a can from an all night shop in Antwerp shared in my hotel room with Mesandsim. Orangey red colour. Considerably worse than the Chapeau we had at the festival earlier. Really bad. Artificial fruit aroma, mouthfeel is awful. Finish has more bad fruit.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - SEP 10, 2004
UPDATED: AUG 11, 2006 Bottled (BB 01/2005)
Dark ruby red color, almost no head. Sour kriek nose. Sour, sweet, mould and earthy flavor. Short kriek/cherry aftertaste, sour. (8/3/6/3/13 3.3)
Re-rate, bottled (BB 03/2005)
Cheery red with good creamy reddish head, lace. Earthy, mould aroma but same time fresh. Taste is extremely freshing with some earthy and mould tones. Cherry is underlying somewhere in a palate. Quite thin, quickly finish with some sourness. (6/4/7/4/14 3.5)
Corked bottle (BB 01/2007). Deep red, clear. Small red head. Nose is very metallic, mixed with cherry. Drier than I remembered, even sour, slightly metallic. Better than its fame. (6/4/7/4/14 3.5)
