Vertical with 2014, 2009, and 2005 (from belgiuminabox). Pours red, fresher one is more clear, older ones are more pinkish and more murky. Fresh one has aroma of cherries, fruits, sugar, funk, some manure, horse blanket. Older ones have less sweetness on the nose, and have spicey notes, cardemon, cinnamon that the younger one lacked. There is also noticeably more manure in the aroma of older ones, especially in the 2005 vintage. Fresh one?s flavor is sour, cherries, funk, acidic notes, some wood. Finish is also somewhat acidic. 2005 is noticeably more acidic, even vinegary, there is also more oak. 2009 feels more balanced and is not as acidic as 2005. Older ones have bit less body, which is to be expected. Overall: good, the best one was 2009, it was the most balanced and wasn?t too raw like 2014, but also not too acidic as 2005.

(Bottle, 0.375 l, at Stadin Panimobaari, 20161013) The beer poured deep red and clear. Its head was small and lightly pink. Aroma had tartness and cherries. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were cherries, tartness, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste had sweetness, cherries and bitterness. A nice sweet lambic. A good one but I prefer the ones with more tartness.

Sampled from 0.375 l bottle, shared by kermis at Not THT, thanks! Hazy, deep red with a pinkish white head. Sourish-fruity, moderately funky aroma of sour cherries, raspberries, oak and bitter almond. Quite sour, fruity and moderately funky taste of raspberries, strawberries, oak and bitter almond, followed by a medium long, rather tart and woody-dry finish. Medium body, very astringent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice!

375ml bottle. 2011? The beer is a deep magenta brown, mahogany-ish. Small fizzy pinkish head. No lacing. Bubbles are gone within a couple minutes. The aroma has a good bit of sweet and sour cherry flavor. There’s a faint phenolic medicinal note. Fair bit of apple cidery flavor. The funk is subtle but pleasant enough in the background. Taste is moderately sour. Nice depth of cherry flavor. The medicinal note is much lighter and blends in well in the taste. You also get some musty oak flavor, particularly in the finish. Long cherry juice finish. Medium-ish body, at least for a kriek. Some roundness to the feel. Good stuff.

Rødbrun klar med lavt offwhite skum. Noe kirsebær, men svært tam. Lett fruktig sødme mot kirsebær, men også noe jordbær. Kort
