Dec 7, 2007 Updated: Dec 11, 2007’02. Mulled. Thanks to Indra for this one. Sour cherries dominate the aroma. Kinda winey. Sweet, spicy, with sour cheeries abound. Tart. Great stuff! Served warm the beer seems to accentuate the acidity (alchol?) and really cuts thru the beer.

Dec 6, 2007 Very unique taste, I have never had anything like it. Almost no carbonation. Smooth, with no trace of alcohol. Tastes like cranberry juice with some cinnamon and spices. Could also pass as wine.

Dec 2, 2007 2002 consumed 11/07. Warmed.
Pours a fairly clear reddish brown with little head.
Aroma is almost cidery. Complex, fruity, vinous, and light bodied.
Very pleasant and quite different.
I’ve added another bottle to the cellar.

Dec 2, 2007 2002 bottle thanks to radiomg. Pours a reddish brown with no head, it was completely flat. I tried this cold and hot, both where good. Lots of sweet and tart cherries, clove, cinnamon, and oak vanilla. Quite spicy, great Christmas brew.

Nov 30, 2007 Very strange beer with an aroma quite different from the flavor. Almost rotten aroma, but the flavor so smooth that you’ll think it’s another beer. Tried sample it with 2 fingers at my nose avoiding the aroma maked it a better brew. Cherries at its most aged level. Not bad, but I still prefer Cantillon. Sampled it at room temperature. Looking forward to Liefmans Glühkriek HOT!!!

Nov 22, 2007 Served room temperature. Pours an amber like red with hues of brown. Small bubbles cling to the glass but no where else. Smells of sour cherries, clove, honey, and a hint of vanilla.
Taste is super sweet and sour cherries, vanilla, and clove. Honey settles upon your tongue giving this a sweet finish. Some oak is apparent as well as some citrus as I warm this up a bit with my hands held firmly around the glass.
Interesting brew, great for desert.
