89 Clear dark red with medium off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with loads of cherries and almond notes. Sweet flavour with cherries, almond and mild woody notes.

(2/29/08) On tap at In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst during De Nacht van de Grote Dorst in Eizeringen. 1994 vintage. Red beer with a pinkish head. Big cherry aroma despite of age with wood and brett. Very fresh sour flavor with cherries. Medium-bodied. Great.

<i>A Mes rate: Early 80’s bottle during the Night of the Great Thirst.</i><br />Brownish red and loosing some of the pinkish hue due to its age. A little musty in the aroma but the flavour has held up a little better. Still a little sweetness left but the fruit is definitely on its way out. Nice tang an sourness at the finish. Tasty and enjoyable. A rare treat that is all but gone.

&#40;Draught at Akkurat, 1989-vintage&#41; Pours hazy, deep blood-ish red. Big cherry aroma with some sweet candy and caramel tones. Some apple-ish sourness. Also hints of Swedish mandelkubb. The flavour has some sweetness in the beginning with some sticky hints but the most notable is a heavy sour, acid, tart and dry mouthfeel. A lot of cherries in the flavour as well. Lingering aftertaste. Medium bodied. Near fantastic.
