Nov 18, 2007 Bottle at the RBSG grand tasting on 6/23/07: Pours a hazy dark ruby pink with a thin-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet fruity cherries and some complex oak and tartness, very enticing. Body starts with a full dissolved carbonation and some lightly sweet fruity cherries and lots of tartness before a drier, lightly oaky complex finish. Very well balanced, authentic and enjoyable.

Oct 12, 2008 Muddy and dark purple/brown colored body. Nose is fantastic - prickly, seedy, pitty cherries and fresh, tart raspberries with a light cream and a light lactic funk. Creamy, oily, full and frothy texture. Slick and sweet at one time and then tart, dry and funky at others. An excellent dessert beer, comparable to New Glarus Belgian Red but less sweet and more dry, which I prefer.
