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.

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.
