Commercial Description:
This is the result of blending black cherries lambic of different ages followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. Storage is similar like geuze. All bottles are champagne corked and can be reserved, in normal conditions, for more than thirty years. It is obvious that an amazing taste evolution takes place.

(bottle - corked & caged 750 ml) Deep red pour with a slightly pink head. Aroma is incredibly sour and tart with lots of cherry notes. Good and funky. Flavor is sour and earthy at the start. Lots of fruity acidic notes and a lot of sour funk. Finishes with a tart and tangy cherry aftertaste. Really nice and really sour.

Oh man this stuff looks like happiness in a glass! I wish I had the wherewithal to age some of these for decades. It’s deep red with white fizzy foam. The aroma is spritzy, fruitily acidic, a little bit of chalk, fresh. The flavor is lightly sweet, acidic yet calming, it’s like the Platonic form of what a cold tart cherry should taste like, the finish reminds me of cherry skins. There’s an undertone of horsey funk too. Mouthfeel is light and fizzy. This is delightful, just the beer I wanted today.

(375 ml bottle from 1828 Vintage House) Pours cloudy reddish with two fingers of pink head. Aroma of sour cherries and yeast. Mouthfeel fairly soft, light and smooth. Light carbonation. Flavor of sour and tart cherries, leaving lingering sourness and some fizziness on the tongue.

Bottle pours a hazy ruby red with a small white head. Aroma is leather, plastic, cherries, bread, hay. Flavor is very tart cherry acidity. Mouthfeel is nice and dry. Great Beer! Very refreshing!

Split by Shyam. Beautiful nose of nasty funk, feet, orange peel, wood, cherry. Color is a nice bloody ruby. Flavor is a nice oak character with cherry, yeast, tartness, apple, vanilla and esters. Really something.

Pours red wine hazy with a medium head, aroma of leather, wet soil, quite kinky with some fruity notes, grassy to woody flavors, dry and zesty on tongue, some cherry notes. Medium bodied. Great

Pours a raspberry red with a quickly fading fizzy head. Aroma of barnyard, cherries, flowers and woodiness. Flavor notes of brett/funk, sour cherries, wood, saltiness, vinegar and a tart fruity acidic zing. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Dry finish. Enjoyable.
