Not sure of the Belgian Ale classification, but the Cuvee de Tomme is dominated by sour cherry with another grouping of brown sugar, oak, and tarty strains. Very pleasant overall, just is short of being world class, due to the makeup creating a little too much vinegar aftertaste. Good Stuff.
First batch - 4.2.

Oct 9, 2008 HUGE thanks to Mitch (beerguy101) for this. Poured a dark mahogany/ cherry with no head. The aroma was cherry and vinegar. Flavors are cherry, raisins, and oak. Sour and very smooth. Goes down easy. Great beer!

Oct 2, 2008 Pours a dark brownish/raspberry color with no head whatsoever. Beautiful smells of tarty, sour fruits with pears, cherries, and raisins. First taste is sweet, tarty and sour with cherries, raisins, green apples, and grapes all meshing into wonderful full sensory experience. Damn this is good. A tad more carbonation, please? - Complex yet mellow. Loud but quiet.

Oct 1, 2008 12.7 oz bottle, 2008. Deep, barely clear, magenta with a thin beige ring. Nose is cherry preserves and light funk with hints of raspberry, maple and vanilla. Juicy and mouthwatering with a mild tingle. Taste is sour cherry then red wine; beaujolais? Dry woody finish. Lip smacking good but doesn’t blow me away.
