Dec 17, 2005 Updated: Apr 25, 2007Bottle (500ml 2004 vintage). Shared with David B at Volo. Been looking forward to this since the weather got cold again - served at approximately 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Poured clear mahogany with a large quick-diminishing white fizzy head. Aroma - God I love this stuff - redolent with fresh sour cherry, very mild sweet malt backing, waves of allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon - the tartness of the cherries balances the sweetness nicely. Taste follows the nose, even more cherry and cinnamon, and quite noticeable alcohol. Palate is thick and sticky with a long sweet/tart finish - my choice over mulled wine as a winter warmer. I will have to try this cold one day.

Dec 10, 2005 Bottle. No head. Red golden body. Cherries and spices. An alternative to gloegg which I also do not like. Served chilled might be a good idea.

Nov 24, 2005 Drunk hot with family with desert on Thanksgiving. 2002 vintage. Poured with no head at all into a tea-cup. Massive aroma of cherries and cinnamon. Taste was very warming, strong alcohol kick, very wassail like, with a big cherry flavor and gentle spicing. Hardly tasted like beer, though very enjoyable and unique.

Nov 19, 2005 Strong rich dark cherry aroma, pours the color of black cherries with lots of carbonation. Taste is sweet but tart enough not to be cloying. I haven’t tried it hot but it is complex and interesting when about room temp.

Nov 2, 2005 Dark reddish/brownish color, no head to speak of. Aroma big on cherry, alcohol, slight spiciness on the nose as well as some malt. Very warming and sweet fruit drink.

Nov 1, 2005 Updated: Nov 6, 2005Too sugary. It’s like drinking syrup. The aroma was excellent. The appearance was nice too. It’s more on the flavors that they lost me. I prefer a fruity beer that doesn’t taste like they add a cup of sugar that will never ferment into bottle.
