Jul 5, 2008 75cl bottle shared with husband on the 4th. Very refreshing during the hot summer. Only a little hint of the 10 ABV and then only as it warms. Looked and smelled like a normal Belgian with hints of sour cherries (no real red tint to the normal cloudy yellow pour). Nice dry finish. In case you’re worried, it tasted a lot more like beer than wine. Great, unique brew.

Jun 27, 2008 Deep amber pour with off white head and lace. Aroma of bread and citrus and fruit. Flavor is a sweet thick rich combination of apple/grape juice with a very warm finish. It almost tastes like it has a hint of cherry to me as well. Mouthfeel is solid and carbonation is good. Gets a little more abv as it warms. Very nice to me so far:)

Jun 24, 2008 Updated: Jun 25, 2008Tart almost taniny flavor followed by sour yeasty flavor of a belgian. Nice crisp texture small head and reddish color. Leaves a slightly bubbly sensation on the tongue and its gone... There is a alot to this beer. Very sophisticated, but a little bit dry for me.

Jun 23, 2008 For my 200th rating. Split with my wife. Very ascetically pleasing translucent reddish-orange pour with thin white head. Aroma of honey, vanilla, and alcohol and typical belgian quad aroma. Flavor of sweet plums, candi sugar, alcohol, white grapes, vanilla and orange rind in the finish. Medium full mouthfeel with very low carbonation and a boozy hot finish. Overall, I can appreciate what DFH is trying to do, but I just don’t care for it too much.

Aroma is oak, hints of citrus and spice. Flavor is sweet, ripe fruit, red grapes, red wine. Light to medium-body with a lingering woody finish. Improves as the beer warms.

Jun 20, 2008 Hazy copper pour with thin white head. Very nice aroma with malt, apricot, citrus, and coriandar.Good flavor, with citrus, wheat, mild coriandar and clove; it ends with a very nice balanced hoppiness with a hint of the wine. Very good carbonation on the palate.

Jun 20, 2008 750 mL bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours deep amber with a small, fizzy, off-white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (hay, straw, bread), average hops (flowers), heavy yeast (horse blanket, barnyard, earth) with notes of banana, cherry, wine, oak, and vanilla. Full bodied, alcoholic and sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness; spicy alcohol, red wine, plum, and oak flavors with a subtle hint of orange.

Jun 14, 2008 pours cloudy orange/brown with thin white head. The first thing i get from the aroma is hops and then a somewhat tart fruit aroma, the flavor is pretty sharp it almost kind of bites the back of your throat, it has a very yeasty flavor but no pinot noir that i notice, not what i expected but it’s good.
