Dongster (15), DeKalb, Illinois, USA Jan 20, 2006 2002 ed at room temp. Aroma is dark and deep cherry, not sure if I like it or not, defenately different. Color is amber with a hint of red, no carbonation. Wonderful flavor of ripe sweet cherries just like they’re fresh off the vine. Long risidual sweetness that lets you enjoy each little sip to the fullest. Very delicious brew. Quevillon (1515), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Jan 15, 2006 Updated: Mar 8, 2007Bouteille de 500 ml, bu chaud et froid sur glace. Orange rougeatre foncée, pas de collet.
<P>>Version chaude.:
Arome de cerise très prsant, à cause de la chaleur, des notes d’épices intéressants. Goût de cerise pas trop sûrette, bonne sensation d’épice sucré. 8-3-7-4-17
<P>Version sur glace.:
Arome de cerise plutôt légé, un peu d’épice. Bon goût de cerise épicé, peu sûrette et bien raffréchissant. 6-3-7-4-16 Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada Jan 13, 2006 Chaude. Robe rouge légèrement voilée sans mousse. Arôme de canelle, de muscade, de clou de Girofles, de cerises sûres et de miel. Saveurs de cerises, d’érable, d’épices, d’alcool, de porto et de pommes. Trev (849), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Jan 4, 2006 2002 Bottling: Pours a pinkish copper. No head what-so-ever.
Aroma is cloying alcohol brandy or mead-ish, with cherry and honey, gingerbread...
Flavour is brandy like as well. Fruity over-ripe cherry taste hits hard. Strange ciderish quality.
Unique and worth a try. neros30 (3), USA does not count Jan 4, 2006 First tasting ever.... I will taste it again at the end of 2006.
I liked it, but it was not so sparkling. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jan 3, 2006 2002 bottle. Clear, opulent and lucid cherry-brass in color with some big bubbles conjoining sporadically for the head. Lovely aroma of cherries, white zinfandel, brandy, almond butter frosted sugar cookies, Disaronno, ripe alcohol, pears and a hint of lees. Anticipated flavor of cherry and similar sauce drizzles over cheesecake. No detectable tart or souring connotations. Mild honey grahams and the milk that remains in what once was a bowl of Berry Cheerios. Gentle, sweet palate bond and barely any carbonation. Finish is like licking the grenadine off of the desert plate. Eructoblaster (1477), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jan 2, 2006 Bottle - 500ml, tasted at room temperature. Cloudy dark amber body with reddish glints, very low carbonation and a thin off-white bubbly head. Strong cherry aroma with cinnamon and apple notes. The same cinnamon hints are easily detectable in the taste, which carries spicy, herbal, and teaish hints as well. It ends with a robust sour finish. Very special fruit beer. JensenTaster (1585), Denmark Jan 2, 2006 (on botle 2002 edit.)had this at room temp. and with a few cheeses; it held out fine. Interesting nose of the cherries(without much kern) and pickled wineleaves. had absolutely no carbonation and and semi-hazy dark red colour. The taste was also dominated by the cheries, had notes of cinnamon, bayleaves and sage too. the lightless in the finish is a good indicator of why some beers are better with heese than wines; it simply lifts the palate up anf d you´re ready for the next mouthfull.
