Bottled (thanks fonefan!). Hazy reddish brown colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is marzipan and raspberries and that’s about it. Flavour is raspberries, marzipan and vanilla. A bit too sweet to be really nice though.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear deep red with a reddish head. Thick and intense cherry aroma. Medium body, very sweet and artificial cherry notes with an underlying tartness. Somewhat cloying. 070413

Pink-amberish head, fed by lively carbonated, muddy garnet beer. Sharp, oppressive - near astringent - nose of cherry concentrate. Something lactic as concentrated milk going sour.... Presageful. Malty-fruity-syrupy-lactic, and again all odds, better than expected. Think the high malt bill saves the beer a bit - which doesn’t changes a thing to the artificial cherrysyrup flavour. Well-bodied, slick, sticky, syrupy and velvety, but spritzy at the same time. Remains a fake-fruitbeer.

33cl, new brew Anno 2012, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex sweet Kriek, fruity/sweet and slightly sour/woody, not too heavy, balanced, clear, good head, nice brew

(Bottled) Clear, deep blood red with a small, pink head. Very sweet and intense aroma of cocktail cherries in alcohol. Flavor is the same with overwhelmingly sugary cherries, but with a faint sourish twist and some acidity. Medium to full body, cloying-sugary, low CO2. Certainly not a very enjoyable sugar overdose. 7157

Dark red coloured beer with small pinkish head and no carbonation visible. Cherry fruited aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is sweet cherry ending dry.
