4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20750 cork & cage from US Liquors. Reddish brown pour with little to no carbonation. Aroma is a vibrant sour-ish cherry that dominates anything else. Flavor is very much like the aroma, comes alive on your tongue more than I expected for no carbonation. Finish is a sweet and sour cherry goodness. Odd beer (especially after reading the serving suggestions) but unique and good.

September 2010. Bottle. Cherry and spice aromas. Redbrown color with an offwhite head. Flavors are more cherry, syrup, sugars and spice. Good beer, but one is enough.

This gets high marks for acknowledging the beer for what it is: complex and unique. Could I have more than one a year? No. The cherry and other tart fruits is what hits your nose. Maybe some wood as well. The color is a deep ruby or cranberry. No head or carbonation on this one. The taste was in between wine and cider. Cherry that verged on cough syrup were it not for the sweetness and other flavors. Some spice and more wood with a little alcohol. Well done but best saved for special occasions.

Cherry juice anyone? Deep, full cherry flavor in a dark red beer with almost no carbonation (cork will not pop easily). What impressed me most about this beer is that it has a quper rich flavor and a godo bit of alcohol but it’s not sticky or syrupy at all. In fact, it’s quite drinkable.
Good stuff.

Bouteille 750ml (2002). De couleur ambrée-rouge et voilée. DÉGUSTATION FROIDE : Nez de cerises sûres, d’épices (cannelle, clou de girofle) et très léger d’alcool. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux notes sirupeuses. Goût fruité (sirop de cerises, notes de cerises sûres) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un petit goût épicé (cannelle, notes de clou de girofle) puis en finale l’on retrouve des traces boisées et de vanille. Post-goût moyen, très légèrement sûr de fruits (cerises sûres) avec des petites notes épicées. DÉGUSTATION CHAUFFÉE : Nez fruité (cerises sûres, notes de cerises sucrées) et assez épicé (surtout de cannelle, léger de clou de girofle, traces de muscade) englobé dans des vapeurs d’alcool. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux ainsi qu’une texture moyennement sirupeuse. Goût fruité (cerises sûres, léger de cerises sucrées) avec un goût épicé piquant (cannelle, léger de clou de girofle, notes de muscade) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement d’une légère chaleur d’alcool avec des notes de sirop de cerises puis en finale l’on retrouve de faibles notes boisées. Post-goût moyen-long, composé d’un goût fruité aux notes sûres (cerises) et d’épices. (2005). Rating basé selon ma dégustation chauffée, comme indiqué.

4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Dégustation à 65 degrés d’une bouteille datant de plus de 10 ans (août 2002) ; saveur puissante et légèrement sûrette de cerises, cette bouteille avait vieilli à la perfection, assagie et savoureuse. Sucrée mais merveilleusement balancée.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle 750ml. [2009 Batch]
Almost not "pop" at opening. Pours brown with red notes. No head. Aroma is of cherries, fruits, spices. Taste is of cherries, sweetness, sligth tartness comes in the end. Palate: Medium body. Overall: [Temperature notes: I drank this beer several times, at different temperatures. I’d say it’s at it’s best hot. Pretty enjoyable over-cold in the summer as well. Not as much interesting at room temperature.] Very good. My kind of fruit beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a reddish brown. To the unknown eye, could be mistaken for a raspberry iced tea. Virtually no head at all. Murky. Aroma is full of tart cherry and cinnamon. Taste is more of the same plus touches of medicinal cough syrup and evergreen spruce. Different to say the least, don’t drink this if you’re in the mood for "a beer". This is more reminiscent of a spiced dessert wine. Overall though, enjoyable if in the mood for something different.
