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. Deep ruby with a wispy, bubbly head that fades to edge fast. Held up and examined, bubbles trickling from the bottom and sides of the glass, zooming up. The aroma on this is killer. Funk, cheese funk, biting acidity, cherries up and down. The flavor was fantastic too, cherries, sharp and sour, the only problem here was the strong acetic touch which became more pronounced as this warmed. Super dry, puckeringly sour and tart, and tasty.

Bottle sampled on 09/26/08 at Night of the Funk. Pours a cloudy red with a small light pink head. Aroma and flavor is quite tart and funky and sour. Some sweet cherry, maybe some fish (?), and acidic notes. Pretty good but a little acidic and there was something odd about it that I couldn’t pin down.

Bottle from 08 Night of the Funk. Aroma of funked up cherries. Flavor of wood, acidic cherries, bretty cherries, just marvelously classic. No bells and whistles, but so fantastic.

375 ml bottle. Clear, dark red body with a thin, disappearing head. Aroma is an acidic sour, cellar note and cherry. Flavor is sour, acidic, cherry and dry, bitter wood. Very dry finish.

Ruby red color and cloudy with a good sized white head. Aroma is sour and fruity. Taste is of tart cherries fresh off the tree that mellows to a soft sweet cherry taste. Dry and delicious.
