375 ml. bottle. Limited edition nr. 39681. No BBF date indicated but a clear vintage. Too me a long time to get this one, mostly because al the names etc. of these confuses the hell out of me. Thx! Bright copper ruby amber with only a lightly pinkish head. Nose is sweet chlorine, this is old, metallic kriek, oxidation & vintage notes. Taste is lightly tart cherry, bit overt fake sweetness but still some moderate tartness, bitter metal, sweet herbs, oxidation notes,… Touch thin, faint carb. Not bad but I have serious difficulties believing that this is a real one & also that this was non-pasteurized etc. However what is real anymore considering how Mort Subite makes their “lambic”?

Pours red color with a pink head. Aroma of cherries, some dark berries, citrus fruits and yeast. Flavor is pretty much the same with wooden notes.

Bottle. Dark red with sediment. Old wheat, hay and sour dark cherries on nose. Body is acidic, a bit light and hard. A bit short. Barnyard, horseys, coming through as it warms up. Quite nice, old kriek. Reminds me of boon’s.

37,5 cl bottle @ hotel room, Brussels. Rated on 20.07.2010
Aroma is somewhat sour with earthy notes, cherries and a leathery feeling. Flavour is rather strong on cinnamon, some juicy cherries and distant earthy notes. The cinnamon is too strong here, but good stuff still.

bottle split with australien guy @ kulminator, 6 year old vintage very nice red coloured, carbonation just right. definetly got some sourness in it, yet nothing like cantillon at all. got some sweetness in it, but not like the lindemans at all. in stead of choosing one side, this combines best of both. very nice balanced, and probably the best kriek i had so far
