May 2, 2009 750 ml. bottle (2008) in an Ommegang goblet. The Lindemans kriek blended nicely with what must have been a middling Quadrupel. Ar: Splendid nose, dominated by cherries, candied sugar and secondary overripe fruits. Abv well masked in the nose. Ap: Beautiful, beautiful color- reddish brown that reveals a deep honey color in the light. It could have perhaps poured a better head w/ more retention on the sides of the glass upon swilling. Nevertheless...Fl: Candied sugar, molasses, some dark fruits, malt and a surprising hops presence that lent it a unique balance. High abv comes through in the end with some metallic booziness. Pa: Lively carbonation makes it a sprightly brew in the mouth, rolls around nicely and is dry. A solid sipper on the whole- I have soft spot for Ommegang brews.

Apr 30, 2009 bottle (big thanks go to JFM for sharing this one) dark red brown color with a big head. Taste has the slightest hint of cherries. Good aftertaste

Apr 25, 2009 Pours a quick diminishing tan head...dark mahogany color with ruby highlights. Sweet malt and cherry aroma. Remarkable taste. Heavy malt, raisins, cherries, a little bitterness on the back end. Great mix of sweet and sour. Alcohol is well hideen for the high ABV, although the warming sensation hits you. One of my favorites.

Apr 25, 2009 2008 edition. Rich brown pour with a ring of off white foam. Yeasty aroma with spice, cherry, ripe bananna, and some funk.Very complex mouth: sweet, sour, bitter, coating and vibrant. Taste is woody and ripe fruit, cherry is in the back, but there. Overall an intoxicating beer for the more mature palates.

Apr 25, 2009 Bouteille de 12 oz, édition 2008. Arômes de fruits (cerises) et d’alcool. Robe ambrée assez foncée, belle mousse et effervescence active. Moyennement ronde en bouche, on retrouve des notes fruitées et un malt caramélisé intéressant. L’alcool est cependant très présent et déséquilibre un peu l’expérience. Finale d’alcool légèrement amère. Peut-être un peu trop jeune.

does not count  Apr 18, 2009 I always love what Ommegang puts out. It pours a deep dark amber color with a touch of red that wants to come out. Plenty of cherry notes in the aroma, but not too much in flavor. A perfect clean finish you would expect from this brewery.

Apr 18, 2009 Love this beer. Mahogany with a nice tan head and good lacing. The balance of sweet and tart with the cherry is perfect and the strong ale base is wonderful.
