Dec 13, 2008 bottle at dipalmas. Wow! Great find. Billed as the brewerys Christmas beer, this is very close to Cuvee de tomme, only sweeter and drier. Nonetheless, this is excellent. Choc covered cherries. Yum.

Dec 8, 2008 Bottled as Kasteel Rouge at the Lowlander, Lonon.
Sweet berries. Cherries, blackcurrants. Not very impressive as a kriek, its mostly lemonade.

Dec 2, 2008 11.2 thanks jim! the color is deep purple brown with reddish edges. the aroma is like black cherry cola. tart cherry dominates while hints of chocolate hide behind it. maybe a little one dimensional. this is a great beer however, i would like to serve it with cheesecake or anything chocolate.

Dec 1, 2008 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a dark and clear ruby colour with a small size head and loads of carbonation.
Smell is ofcourse that of cherries, but not so much that it is overwhelming.
Taste on the other hand is a bit too mich of the cherries.
Very sweet, goes down a little warm, but aftertaste also almost only the cherries.

Nov 21, 2008 Under the ’Kasteel Rouge’ label. Very dark red with a pinkish head. Bittersweet cherrystone aroma. Sweet fruity taste soon yields a sharp, dry finish. I’ve had a few bland, syruppy cherry beers lately. This was pretty artificial, but a step in the right direction.

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.
