May 11, 2008 Bottled. A deep red beer with a rim of tan head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruits and black currant, cherries, and chocolate - reminds me of ’Mon Cherie’ chocolates. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of berries and fruit - especieally cherries and black currant. The alcohol burns on the inside of the lips. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Mar 25, 2008 Murky reddish-purple. Big cassis with a tart, malty, slightly vinegary brown ale background. Somewhat stiff. A bit too much alcohol for the palate but it’s good for the body as it cuts through an otherwise syrupy black currant. Decent brew.

Very dense and yet smooth. Goes into a light reappearing black berry flavoured far finish.
