Sep 28, 2008 very enjoyable. Not aged, had to try it. very interesting brew in that it starts off with some dried friuit and maltness and finishes with distinct taste of chery. Will re-rate botte that has been aged. Anyone have suggestions on optimal aging time?

Sep 28, 2008 One of my favorites from the belgian beer tasting in Boston 9/27/08. A really unique and amazing cherry tartness coupled with the usual strong malts. Great reddish color, a pleasure to drink slowly.

Sep 27, 2008 Very sweet but not overpowering. Similarities in both flavor and aroma to a scotch style ale. Definitely impressed and will purchase again.

Sep 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Rather subtle aroma for such a big beer, yet pleasant, shortbread malt and cherries, with minor red wine. Absolutely gorgeous beer, if i could give it a 6 i would, big cream colored fluffy almost fake looking head, good lacing all around, not completely opaque bright sangria red color with a smoke signal type carbonation flow. Very malt dominated flavor, cocktail cherry flavor evident right from the start, but not in a syrup-like cherry cough drop sense like other beers, this flavor is counterbalanced well with sweet Belgian malt, and a super smooth, medium-full body that feels great the whole way. Really, just a very nice and unique beer, not much else needs to be said.

Sep 14, 2008 Ommefest on tap. I’ve ever only had this on tap but can’t wait to open my 07 at home. Pours dark with a malty cheery chocolate nose and follows straight up on the pallet. Very complex and a great desert beer with dark chocolates. It’s one of those beers I can’t wait to see in 5 years.

Sep 10, 2008 Bottle, Big monster malts, alcohol is very present, lots of chocolate, a bit of cherry tartness balances it out. Very big without question the flavor is much darker than many quads, almost sinister. I liked it.

Sep 6, 2008 This is good stuff. Has the depth and character of a Belgian strong, with the added but subtle bonus of the 2% Kriek. A very fine sipping ale.

Sep 6, 2008 Cherry aroma. Never liked cherry this much. Wow. Monster head. Lacing lasts for days. Powerful ale. Not sure what I taste, but what I taste is what my dreams are made of and that is all I need to know. Hop bite works fine with the malt and yeast and cherrys. Cherry cola color, hazy. Drink this with Low by Flo Rida on and enjoy!
