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.

750 ml. green bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a dark cherry juice color, with no head & no carbonation. Aromas are of serious funk, cherry skins, not much else. Flavors are of rotten garbage, cherry vinegar, stinky feet. Too sour and nasty for my liking, and I like sour beers as a rule. This is some serious, hard core shit here gang.

Beautiful sour cherry nose, slightly over tart, a bit chalky and highly acidic though. Good, but lacking greatness, slightly one-dimensional.

Nice cherry on the nose....fairly mild funk on the nose....great balance of tartness and sweetness....lacking a bit of the complexity of a great kreik....but darn good nonetheless....also more carbonation on the mouthfeel than normal...but not a bad thing

(From old notes, bottle (750 ml) at Pikkulintu on 2008-01-11) A bit acidic at the beginning and the acidiness increases as the beer gets warmer. Cherry in taste and nose. A good lambic. Unfortunately, I haven’t written down the vintage or BBE date,

375 ml bottle. No indication of age on either the cork or label. Excellent blend of sweet/tart cherries and acidic, bretty, footy, rubber funk. Pours a still, dark copper with no carbonation or head. Smoked wood, charred rubber, sour cherry skin and a touch of spice on the tongue. Not overly acidic, but a a fair amount of funk and lacto tartness. Oily body with just the smallest hint of carbonation on the finish.

2001 bottle from John’s Grocery. Thanks Pepsican. Taste is sweet and very sour tart cherry. Aroma is sweet cherry, some garbage, barnyard, cherry sourness. Back to taste: Acidic, lactic cherry with some more garbage and sweetness. Soo good.
