Blom (390), Odense, Denmark Jun 22, 2008 Vintage 2002, 6 years old, enjoyed cooled. The bottle opens with only a hint of a pzzzt and pours brown-red with absolutely no head. The aroma is dominated by cherry, oak, vanilla and cinnamon going into amazing sweet flavours of cherry, mazipan and vanilla. I am totally blown away by this one - it is far from the acid and sour belgian krieks but luckily it doesn’t have the sugary and artificial feel of many a sweet kriek. A grand experience! TheElder (49), DeSoto, Wisconsin, USA Jun 16, 2008 I had a very young vintage of Quelque Chose and though I have heard that it ages very well I was impressed with it as is. I warmed it up and was amazed at the weight of it. Seemed heavy on the tongue with deep flavours of almost ripe cherries and sharp spices. Then, it finishes with the smooth burn. IPAaLLtHEwAY (136), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Jun 14, 2008 Vintage 2002, Poured red-brown, almost like thick apple cider. No head at all. The aroma is amazing, almost as complex as the taste, It starts out smelling bitter, as you continue to inhale it turns sweet then as your inhalation draws deep it begins to smell boozy. Upon tasting this one decided to try heating it up as directed and a glass of it cold. I much prefer it heated up, although both are remarkable. Drinking it hot it has an initial acidity and spice, then it rounds off into something very sweet and delightful, then it trails of with a dry tart taste that lasts for about a minute. Reminds me of pie. Drinking it cold on the other hand, the spice is greatly diminished, and thus not so much reminding me of pie. It is however still very climatic with sweet ripe cherry. All in all this is an outstanding beer. Deserves the 100 percentile. Pyrozoid (352), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jun 11, 2008 (Dégusté avec french tickler) Biere de couleur rosé foncé avec un collet absent. Odeur d’alcohol, cerises, sucré, un peu d’épices.
