Nov 20, 2008 Bottled 33cl. It pours a red beer with a reddish head. Good sourness. A nice bite with the swallow. A hint of vinegar showing up. Lightly woody with a huge amount of cherries in the finish.

Nov 19, 2008 Reviewed 11/16/2008 (Tap @ The Stables, St. Louis, MO): Very cool presentation in a Kasteel glass with a castle on the stem of the goblet-like glass. Fruity natural smells. Not an overwhelming aroma. Pours a very dark blood red body, with a lasting frothy pink head. Has a sweet aroma, very cherry. Effervescent. Tart cherry taste. Nice fruitiness. Very carbonated, soft mouthfeel. Would go great with a sweet dessert.

Nov 19, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a beautiful clear red with a small, rough, pinkish head. Sweet cherry aroma. Medium body with very sweet notes of cherry and marzipan. No real bitterness. A bit too much on the sweet side. 290308

Nov 18, 2008 Cherry. Cough syrup. Also some cherry pie thrown in. Doesn’t do it for me.

Nov 16, 2008 (Tap) Pours a ruby red color with a faint pink hue to the small head. Aroma of ripe mashed cherries. Taste is rather complex, with cherries obviously dominating. As the beer warmed, I got some fleeting amaretto, vanilla and oak (or other wood) notes as well. Rather tart cherry flavor balanced the sweetness pretty nicely. Alcohol is well hidden. Very enjoyable!

Nov 2, 2008 Fruit beer is generally not my thing, but the bright tart cherries, mixed with sweet malt, vanilla and alcohol warmth added up to something I like well enough to try again.

Oct 27, 2008 Bottle. Low and quickly disappearing creamy off-white head. Clear dark red body. Strong cherries marzipan aroma. Cherries and cherries stone flaovr and again the marzipan is there. Low carbonation, short aftertaste. Would not have guessed on such a high alcohol percentage as this beer seems little aggressive.

Oct 27, 2008 Had this at Tyler’s in Carrboro. Pours a dark ruby with a very small, pink head. Lacing is excellent. Nose is cherries and sugar. Taste is sweet but then turns tart and sour. There is some port wine or pinot noir in there. The 8% abv is well hidden. Overall, not too fruity or acidic. Great dessert beer.
