Style: Fruit Beer
Chambly, Canada

750ml, bu chaude comme il se doit, saveurs de sirop au cerises, très agréable, bière spéciale. très plaisante

750ml bottle. Pours reddish brown with no carbonation (like juice). Aroma is sour cherry with hints of raison. A bit thick and syrupy and fairly sweet front. It has a little bit of a sour finish. Although I like this, I’m going to find it tough to finish the rest of this bottle. Its just a little too sweet and thick to drink a lot.

POurs a lightly hazy deep red color with no traces of head whatsoever. Smells lightly tart and acidic with a profound cherry aroma in the nose. Smells about what I expected it to be. The flavor is somewhat acidic as well but the cherry flavor seems to be most dominant. Pretty sweet on the palate, almost a little too much for me, it was right on the border. It was ok, but certainly not my favorite cherry beer. I would have liked more carbonation, but I think that is the way this beer was designed.

Cork-topped 750ml bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown with no head. Even when I attempt to pour vigorously, only a few, large bubbles appear. The aroma is strong and acidic: sour cherries, acetic (like a cherry vinaigrette), red-colored hard candy, cough syrup, and hints of molasses. The flavor starts strong and sweet with cherries. Big, chewy, sticky sun-dried cherries with some brown sugar and a hint of malt. There is a slight hint of acidity on the top of the tongue that quickly fades into sweetness. The middle of the tongue detects hints of fizz that provide a touch of sourness to balance out the sweetness. The flavor is incredibly fruity and a pleasant blend of sweet and sour, but it lacks any flavors that even vaguely resemble malt and hops. It is like a cross between a cherry soda (like Cheerwine) and a sweet wine. The finish is short and slightly herbal (hints of mint and tea leaves). The finish also is very full-bodied and big with sweet-and-sour (mostly sweet) cherry medicine. The mouthfeel is full and, despite the fact that it is almost completely flat, decently zippy. I think the acidity from the sour cherries closely enough resembles the carbonic acid bite of a carbonated beer that it fools the tongue into thinking it is somewhat sparkling. This definitely a very interesting and unique beer. But it is a little below the bar for these guys (since Unibroue makes so many awesome brews).

Aroma is a mild sour cheery scent. Color is a deep rich mahogany with almost no carbonation and no head. Taste is sweet and tangy. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a warm feel. Finish is a rich sweet cheery flavor that turns to a nice sour flavor. This is an amazing brew like no other.

Bottle. The pour is a dark ruby with a pale head that almost instantly dissipates. The aroma is a sour and tangy cherry with. The taste is sweet and tart of cherries and slightly of cloves. The cherry flavour is strong but not overpowering. There is a bitter tart in the finish. This is a fantastic fruit beer.

Bottle, pours a clear dark red color, with no head and no lacing, tried it on the rocks its has a mild sweet and tartness to it. Then warmed it in a double boiler and poured into a warm snifter. Much better, rich and very Alcohol becomes more dominate, reminds me of mold wine. It was very full of spice and herbs, quite nice and delicious a must try warmed. Don’t boil obviously, but get it warm not hot like coffee but warm, like hot toddy.

I did as recommended and drank this over ice. Pretty red color. Aroma of cherries cloves and cinnamon. Disappointing taste. Almost like a watered down cough syrup. I will pass on this next time.
