Aug 2, 2007 MiBGF 07: Muddy ruby brown with a minimal head. The aroma has notes of both fresh cherries and aged fruit, Belgian yeast funk, wood and some pale malt vapours. The taste starts with a nice fruity twang with a counter balance of Belgian sweetness. An undertone of wood and light pepper run throughout. The mouth feel is refreshing and warming, hit the spot without being overpowering. This is really nice and I could dig a few bottle in the future...Ron?
