Jul 8, 2007 (750mL bottle:) Pours a red color, a little cloudy, no head. Aroma of extremely sour cherries, like a geuze. Flat taste, cherries, sweet sour taste. Not a strong taste, not syrupy. Too flat. I just saw that this is supposed to be drunk hot, whoops! I hope to get some more and try it hot and re-rate it soon.

Jul 6, 2007 Amber red color, no carbonation or head. Smells of fresh cherry pie-notes of cinnamon.
Taste is at first somewhat oak-like than cherry tart. Tastes more like a cherry cider than beer. hard to not any hopiness.

Jul 5, 2007 Bottle. Cool: Slightly hazy ruby with a tiny head, big bubbles, like you would see on a fresh poured grape juice. Aroma is big cherries, and reminds me of a kriek. Flavor was mostly cherries with a little baking spices (maybe cinnamon?) I didn’t really enjoy this method.
Warm: Aroma is the cherries with the cinnamon/spices much more prominent. The taste takes on a mulled wine characteristic. Alcohol takes on a presence. The only way to enjoy this drink. Rating from warm.

:over ice: musky red, no head, faint cherry smell, very refreshing and the bitterness/spice level is mellowed to a summer cherry drink with a backbone, nice! ....
:cool-room temp:pours a dark ruby red, lacing is quite good, small small headring, taste is of cherries, stems, gluhwine, lsd, robitusin, very delicious!....

The aroma is magnificent! cheeries by the barrel! dark red goodness! my dutch granpa (who loves gluhwine) would dig this! ..amazingly delicious, warming!...the total package!...SOOO glad i put the money down for this fabulous treat!

Jul 2, 2007 Bottle at KØ07. Good berry aroma, must be cherry, slightly citric. Hazy prune red colour. The flavour is rather sweet, and only slightly acidic to balance. Cinnamon aftertaste. Not very balanced, but actually drinkable.

Jun 27, 2007 Darker pink. Still. Seems to come off a bit candy-ish, but I enjoyed today. Sort of a spicy background. Glad I tried it.

Jun 20, 2007 I actually prefer this cold than hot. It’s a bit tart. The Cherry flavor seems a bit tacked on, but it the rest is quite consistent. Slight taste of cloves and mild spice. worth a taste.

Jun 20, 2007 The aroma has cherries, cloves, honey, and syrup. The appearance is red with a small amount of carbonation. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin but OK. I actually like it better cold than hot.
