3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
33cl bottle, BB 03-2014. Abv at 4.5% on this one.
Couleur pourpre, col épais rose.
Arôme est fruité rappelant de peau de cerises noires mais restant assez en retrait. Le tout donne presque un nez poivré tel que l’on note après avoir mi le noyau à fermenter.
Palais présente un profile cerise-noyau avec une fin de bouche allant vers un côté grains-malte très belge et une certaine douceur presque mielleuse. Pétillante avec un fini allant sur une brève note aigre-douce de cerise. Le point positif venant de la profondeur de la cerise qui il est dommage reste au niveau d’extrait. Malgré tout se démarque un peu des autres concurrents du style.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Ruby red, brilliantly clear, colored pour. Giant, pink-tinged head that sticks around so long I might charge it rent. Plenty of lacing as it recedes with each sip. A syrupy aroma of sour cherries and sugar. And carbon dioxide. Cherries in syrup, sweetened syrup, is mostly the taste. A little nutty. Not too bad.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle shared with Thompson. Hazy murky reddish color, small off-white head. Smell sweetness and cherries. Tastes about the same. Soft, not harsh at all. Low to medium carbo, low to medium body. Acceptable kriek.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle purchased from the Beer Shop, London (7 years ago). Pours a murky dark purple/brown, perhaps like plum. Aroma is sour and vinegary. Extended cellaring may well have done something good here. This seems to be just on the edge of turning to the dark side, but as it stands there is some sweet fruit, mixed liberally with some sour, almost medicinal edges. Thick in the mouth and long in taste. Very nice.
