Mar 14, 2008 Drank it with Juanco at Hop Devil Grill in NYC. Wow. Really enjoyed it. Spicey, raisiny,in your mouth flavors. Complex, well balanced and warming.

Mar 14, 2008 I really could drink this by the pint which is way crazy, but it is all too easy to let them slide with this one. The nose is full of blood and faint cherry. The palate is tart and bubbly with a hint of chocolate. Good concealment of alcohol too.

Mar 14, 2008 Bottle. BB 1 june 2010. Reddish brown color. Somewhat closed aroma of raisins, dates, rye, tobacco, strawberry, some yeast and phenolics. Hints of bitter chocolate and sour cherries. Also a hint of oak. Soft, pearly and silky mouthfeel. Effervescent. Slightly sour and with a definitive yeast bite. Together with a piece of chocolate the beer feels fresher and fruitier and the bitterness fades. This one will benefit from aging.

Mar 13, 2008 750 ml corked bottle. Mostely lasting, medium-sized dense beige head. Ruby brown color. Aroma of fruits, mainly cherries, along with caramel, butterscotch, cookies and yeast. Medium sweet and malty taste. Lot of fruitiness, raisins, plums and cherries. Notes of chocolate, wood, burnt sugar and alcohol. Well-bodied. Thick mouthfeel. Malts and lingering bitterness in the finish. Excellent.

Mar 12, 2008 Updated: Feb 1, 2009Bottle. Cloudy red-brown, big head, takes a while to dissipate. Gorgeous beer. Aroma isa bit of molasses, dark fruit (cherries), some alcohol. Dry body, flavor has prominent cherry and dark malt with a sweet finish, a bit dry. Hint of alcohol burn. Lively carbonation, full bodied, bit creamy.

Mar 12, 2008 A dark brown ale that has a foamy head. Smells nice, hard to pinpoint one strong scent. Tastes nice--cherry and fruit. Strong alcohol after taste.

Mar 12, 2008 Bottled.
Very complex. A ghost of a kriek playing in the background of an ale. Sweet and sour, lots of fruit.
I’d love some bottles of this stacked away!

Mar 11, 2008 Brown/Red pour with a decent size head. Aroma is very complex...toffee, cherry, syrupy berries, and a certain earthiness.
Taste was as complex as the aroma, with chocolate and (maybe) dates coming through. Felt thick on the palate and it lingered, despite the sharp carbonation that become more apparent as you progress through the glass.
Somewhere between the taste and the aftertaste, the alcohol becomes overly apparent, which does take away from the overall drink.
