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.

Apr 18, 2009 Excellent pour and head; dark caramel color; cherry aroma is immediately present; initial tasting did not contain cherry, although dried fruits clearly present; aftertaste almost metallic with sweet cherry notes

Apr 17, 2009 Nice mahogany color; aroma about the same as any ale. Head was nice and thick, good cream color. Excellent flavor; not too hoppy, with the kriek flavors in the background... not overwhelming but not overwhelmed. Nice and well balanced.

Apr 14, 2009 Thanks biggcb. Medium brown, translucent, garnet highlights. Medium beige head, only transient lacing. Mild roast aroma, tree fruits, wild yeast funk, penetrating alcohol elements. Flavor is led by alcohol and wooden resinous elements, very penetrating, overall too much solvent character for me. Background flavors that round out its complexity include tart cherries, molasses, and yeast. Somewhat thin in body in contrast to the full flavor. Hot, chemical palate.

Apr 13, 2009 Acheté à Lombard au état-unis dans l’état de l’illinois au famous wine and spirits. Bouteille de 750ml millésimé 2008 et déguste dans un verre trappiste de westmalle avec Glandine. Apparence brune rubis au reflet orangé avec une mousse moyenne brunâtre très collante sur les parois et un faible dépôt de levure en suspension. Arômes de sucre à la crême, cerise, caramel, fraise, prune, mûre et fûmé de bois et une trace de canelle. Un goût de cerise, miel, mûres, fruits des champs et caramel avec une touche de pelure de pomme et de poire. Au palais, un équilibre entre le sucré et l’amertume. Le goût reste longtemps avec un début crémeux et réchauffant suivant par la suite à une amertume sec en explosion et velouté en même temps. Une bière balancé et pleine de surprise portant à mes lèvres une plénitude orgasmique.

Pretty good

does not count Apr 10, 2009 Very dark, and heavy content...but surprisingly smooth. Not overpowered by the cherry side...worth the try if you like dark and complex beer.
