Apr 7, 2009 With many thanks to HogTownHarry. I think this may have been aged for 3 years. Appearance: Red brown with a practically non existent white head. Aroma: Wonderful raspberry and cherry, malt and some hops. Very nice and fruity. Flavour: Nice big raspberry flavour up front, acidic, sour, mildly carbonated with a medium body. Nice long champagne-esque raspberry finish. Lovely.

Mar 26, 2009 Kirsch aromas with a little added sweetness. Fuddy and dusty.
Swwet to begin with containing good fruit flavours, very fleshy and authentic. A saliva inducing tartness follows. Nice succession of flavour.
After a while it becomes farr too sweet as you become used to the sourness of the finish.
Very, very sticky.
I also made a jelly with this, it was delicious.

Mar 22, 2009 375ml. bottle Vintage 1994, 15 years old. Served into Duvel tulip. Pour is dark ruby(almost black) with no head at all. Aromas of raspberries, plastic, slight alcohol, and paint thinner. Flavor is very light with raspberry, tart fruit, and finishing wonderful. Wow, the aroma imo was pretty bad except for the raspberry, but the flavor is f-ing amazing! The finish is also somewhat sweet.

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle. Ruby body with a reddish brown head. Aroma is heavy raspberry with a pleasant sourness and a faint metallic touch. Medium bodied. Lots of raspberry in flavour that ends up bit sour and tart.

Feb 26, 2009 Bottle, maybe from belgianbeergal? Pours a very murky reddish brown color with floaties everywhere! Very small white head. Aroma has lots of raspberries, cherry lifesavers, light malt and yeast tones. Flavor is sweet and has lots of raspberry flavor, but it isn’t syrupy sweet. There is some tartness and clean refreshing beer flavor as well. Nice beer. Fun and easy.

Feb 21, 2009 I had this on tap at Lucky Baldwin’s Belgian Fest.
This was a 1999 cask 10 years old. Wow. Tasty. Lots of raspberry flavor with nice background tartness.

Feb 18, 2009 Bottled 375ml. Appearance: It pours a beautiful ruby beer with a small fizzy pinkish head. No lacework. Aroma: Very pleasant and inviting. Fresh. Vinegar, raspberries, crackers and wood showing up. Flavor and palate: Raspberries, wood, vinegar, blue cheese and crackers appearing. Rather sweet with a decent acidity. Nicely balanced. Dry finish with reminiscent raspberries which makes you eager to drink more. Overall impression: Very good. Deeply refreshing.
