1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Burgandy redish pour. Little head. Looks pretty good. Odd scent. Kind of like tart Candy. Actually drinkable, which is more then I can say for any of the other Chapeau’s I have had. Still way too sweet and candy like. Not good but good for this brand.

The one thing I can’t get past in some fruit beers is a vinegar taste. The Chapeau Kriek had just too much of it. I couldn’t get more than a few sips down. I actually really enjoyed the cherry flavor and it wasn’t bad, but that little bit of vinegar in the back was enough that I couldn’t drink it. I’m sure this is pretty good for other people, but if that vinegar flavor turns you off, you might want to go elsewhere. There certainly isn’t a lot of it, though. Just enough... Sorry, Chapeau.

2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aged (accidently) for 5 years. I didn’t knew I still had this bottle. Surprisingly enough it was still drinkable. Probably with the huge amount of sugar in this beer. But I’ve expected this to be rotten. Very sweet but a bit artificial flavor. (Bottle 25cl)

Bottle. Pours a murky reddish color, capped with a small pink head. Aroma is on the sweet side with primarily black cherry. The flavor is very nice initially, with black cherry, sour cherries, and sweet tarts candy. The sweetness builds after the initial sip, until it becomes almost unbearable. Spritzy carbonation. It would be very refreshing if it weren’t quite so sweet.
