Auch für diese Flasche bin ich Egide Snakkers sehr dankbar, die ebenfalls aus der Mitte der 80er Jahre stammt.
Gleichmäßiges, aromatischeres Auftreten wobei die Säuerlichkeit nicht unheimlich stark in Erscheinung tritt und mit der dezenten Kirschigkeit einen Kompromiss schließt. Nicht das ultimative Kriek und es ist auch sicherlich noch ausbaufähig, aber grundsätzlich solide!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cuvée Spéciale; pretty old bottle Bright red beer with slight amber shine; small pinkish head, reasonably stable. Syrupy cherry nose, (not too) sweet cherry bonbons. Some old, definitely oxydized notes as an essence from fruit - but not necessarily for edible purposes. Restrained sweetness; as sour cherries with some sugar added; Can you imagine an aged, home-made cherry jam gone liquid? Not cloying despite a syrupy texture. Way better than I feared. Of course, the age has worked wonders here.

Bottled, 1989 vintage (thanks joergen for sharing!). Murky brownish red colour, small off-white head. Just wonderful aroma of sweet cherries. Totally filled the nose cavities (and my head!). Flavour is cherries and dry dark fruits. Lovely thing, considering it’s age!
