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.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
(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
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cherry. Cough syrup. Also some cherry pie thrown in. Doesn’t do it for me.
