Bottle shared by NickTheElder. Looks too pretty to drink. Pours a clear crimson color with a pink film. Wow, black cherry pie filling sums this beer up perfectly. Its abundant in both flavor and aroma. Super thick, syrupy, and sweet. A great dessert beer to sip on, and it would probably be great with a scoop of ice cream. Doesn’t really taste anything like beer, but it’s still damn tasty.

Aroma is totally cherry cough medicine. Not for me. Taste is sweet burnt cherry cough medicine. I did not enjoy this.

Bottle from NicktheElder. Pretty beer, dark ruby red with a pink head. Cherry cough syrup aroma, like the 44D. Sweet cherry flavor, like black cherry kool-aid. Very tasty.

Thin pink head, sparkling, cherry bomb nose. Sweet and crisp, nice tart acidity balances this beer out from just beer fruity. Solid Belgian yeasty finish.

Sampled at Pizza Port Belgian Beer Party and liked it. Was able to pick up a couple bottles at the Pizza Port bottle shop right after the event. Pours a deep and almost opaque red. Thin layer of pinkish head which quickly disappears. Love the aroma -- rich mature cherry smell. Dark cherries dominate the flavor which is predominately sweet but there is a nice tartness as well. There is also a hint of alcohol, but the 8% is generally well disguised. Finishes sweet and slightly dry, like champagne. Not something to drink so regularly, but surprisingly good. A good one to try to get your girlfriend turned on to beer!

11.2 ounce bottle from In Vino Veritas in Keswick, VA. Pours a dark, clear ruby color with a thin fizzy head. Poor retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet cherries, candylike and reminding me of Luden’s cough drops. Taste is tart, sweet cherries along with some other berries. Medium bodied. Fairly one dimensional and more like a soda than a beer.

Overpowering sweet. Poured ruby red with a pink head. Aroma and flavor of nothing but cherries.
