mikey (309), farmington, Utah, USA Apr 30, 2008 Poured a light ruby red with absolutly no head. The nose most notably was of sour cherries, cinnamon and nutmeg. The taste shows off the cherries imidiatly with a ton of spicey nutmeg. Following beneth is a bit of sourness and a hint of cinnamon. Carbonation is nearly nonexistant . This beer has a nice light body but the intense tartness makes it’s drinkability low. If you like sangria you’ll love this. This is definatly worth a try. I should point out that it’s recomended that Quelque Chose be served mulled. It was served to me cold about 45 degrees. blklab2007 (435), Connecticut, USA Apr 27, 2008 750 bottle corked and caged first served on the rocks. poured a red copper color with a thin froth on the surface perhaps from the room temperature liquid coming in contact with the ice. no carbonation present at all with aromas of sweet cherry, honey, and spice. sorta like schnapps, flavor is fruited, sticky sweet, and has a sweet and sour thing.
warmed does change this a bit. causes it to come off less syrupy with heavier spice and a better fruit flavor. has a warming effect this way and the alcohol becomes more apparent. was somewhat struggling with this cold but warm it is quite nice.
first time for two things here. beer with ice in it and beer warmed.
Panzerfaust (367), Santiago, Chile Apr 27, 2008 Color is hazy, dark copper and intense. It has no head at all but a small ring of foam appears with shyness.
Fruity, yeasty aroma of sour cherries, liquor, sherry. When ice cold (on the rocks) it’s faint, but it’s very strong and alcoholc when it warms. The warmer, the stronger. Good but nothing too impressive.
Flavor is decent with of course, cherries and honey touches. Sourish but with sweet edges, softer than expected. Rosehip, martini and alcohol complement the flavor. Much stronger when warm, tends to be a little watery when served "on the rocks".
Medium to full bodied, syrupy texture. No carbonation at all. Highly alcoholic. Long finish. Weird beer. travita (525), Lewisville, Texas, USA Apr 25, 2008 Reddish color with low carbonation and almost no head. Sweet cherry smell. Sweet and sour in the taste. Reminds a little of flavored cough syrup but better. Thicher mouthfeel. skortila (2175), Bunnik, Netherlands Apr 18, 2008 Bottled. Aroma is very spicy and fruity. It has clove, cinnamon ("speculaas/ontbijtkoek" ) and cherry. Pleasant. Clear, dark red coloured with not much head. Taste is sweet, quite spicy and has a decent cherry tone. Quite sticky mouthfeel. When heated, the spicyness is much less and the beer has a much less pronounced character. So just drink at normal temperature.
