A: Dark maroon body... nice off white head which recedes to a nice film... good lacing..
D: MMM... cherries and apples oh my! Some nice oak like characteristics as well..
T: The sweet sour interplay really makes Flanders Red Ales work.. this beer has that going on well... dark cherries provide both elements and is balanced with the oak which was present in the nose...
M: Rich, medium bodied beer. Smooth on the tongue...

In bottle. Pours a dark, red - brown colour with a thick and foamy beige head. Aroma of balsamic vinegar and pickled onions. A little sweet with oak coming through. Similar flavours with oak quite prominent again. A little tart with a foamy mouth-feel, moderate carbonation and mild CO2 prickle. I prefer the Gran Cru and the Vintage. I found the lingering flavour a bit too metallic in this one.

330ml bottle. Pours a murky dark tea colour with ghostly wisps of foam scattered across the top. Spiced prune and dried fruit aroma is pleasant while the sour taste trails off to leave a hint of sweetness on the tongue. Quite good.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle (750 mL) from WOB. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a medium-small beige head that fades into a thin outer ring. Nice aroma with some sweetness mixed with sour, malt and a bit of oakiness. Just a touch of sweetness in the flavor followed by the expected sourness. Quite refreshing. Maybe not the "most" refreshing in the entire world, but pretty refreshing nonetheless.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(25 cl from Belgisk Bryg) Pours a clear, dark copper with little, tan head that dissipitates quickly yet manages to lace the glass. The aroma is tart, vinegar, oak and cherries. A bit too sour smelling for me perhaps. Full-bodied, oily texture with medium carbonation and a weak, sour finish. The taste is mostly tart with a faint sweetness in the aftertaste. Personally I’m more partial to the smooth roundedness of the Duchesse. Girlfriend says: "I find it lacks a bit of taste towards the end. It’s like I haven’t drunk anything now."
