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.

Old 1980s bottle (ca. 1987) with a pink trait in lieu of label. Red copper in colour, rusty, with a beige head. Notes of cherry, horseblanket and lactic acid. Smoooooth! Not harsh at all, all in softness, welll blended with soft sweetness of cherries, and light acidic points. Was told this was sweetended with sachharin. Bottle shared with Joris, Ursel, May 2 2005. A big dank u!

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.

Red with bubbly white head. Aroma is tart and full of leather, in addition to cherry and slightly-vinegar dust and hay, some serious funky urine hiding in there. Flavor is a near perfect balance between sweet, tart cherries and slightly sour vinegar, hay; it’s a little on the sweet end, but the sour cherries are long-lasting. Dry yet refreshing. This isn’t more complex than other lambics, but for me, it’s as satisfying as any that I’ve tasted.

750ml Bottle. Wacky orange-brown color with a lovely, thin, creamy head. Aroma of cherries, lactic acid, citrus, barnyard, and something sweet and candy-like too in the background. Deep cherry flavor with a bit of sweetness, a touch of caramel, and a strong sour edge. Lactic creaminess goes with a dry finish, tannic (from the stones?). Perfect balance. Light, crsip and smooth, with a perfect palatte. Wonderful.

A gold redish coloured kriek with a soft sweet aroma. Plenty of pressure in the bottle giving a lively character. A marvelous kriek.

Bottled, best before 2018. Copper colour. Fruity with vague cherry notes, and dry-ish. Woody, bubble-gum, cognac finish.

Murky ambers and reds, thin disappearing white head. Nose is sour cherry, musty cellar, barnyard, cheese, wood, and a hint of earth. Flavors match with a nice sour tangy bite to round it out. Lighter side of medium bodied, fizzy, tangy finish. Love it!!
