Bottle from DeBierkonig, Amsterdam, in the garden with Dad, 8th September 19. Pours a dirty brown red colour. Aroma is tart fruit, barrel, wood and bourbon, some cherry. Taste is tart cherry, bourbon, vanilla, wood, vinous, slight sweet, but overall acidic and tart, almost too much. Pretty good and complex, but I have better beers in this category at this ABV

2008 bottle from Schroppfy, thanks! Reddish dark brown color. Oak, malt, dark chocolate and cherries in the aroma. Odd mix of tartness, dark chocolate, the finest of cherry bonbons, licorice, oak and cherry liquor in the flavor. Very complex, strong and tart. Not a sign of the promised 11% ABV, excpt in the warming finish, but strong and powerful. And deceptively drinkable. World class beer. 2009 bottle, tasted @ UDRB, Oirschot. Malt, toffee and cherry in the aroma. Brett, lemon, chocolate and cherry in the flavor. Once again not a sign of the 11% alcohol. Lemon, cherry an brett in the aftertaste. Bitter almonds. lovely!

Poured from a 375 ml bottle from what I believe is 2014. Aroma is a balanced blend of dark fruits and malt notes. Rich, dark caramel and toffee with lighter chocolate and toast notes. Loads of cherry, plum, raisin and prunes. Light alcohol notes and faint bourbon and oak. Pours brown with a small, thin, tan head that recedes quickly and disappears. No lacing and small legs. Flavor is rather acidic but only moderately sharp with lots of dark fruit notes. Loads of cherries and raisins with lighter cassis, plum and prune notes. Medium caramel and toffee notes with lighter chocolate and toast. Light oak and bourbon with a bit of alcohol in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium low carbonation. Low, but present astringency and low, but present alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer but these higher abv dark sours aren't really my thing.

0.375l bottle thanks to Cristobal37. Murky dark ruby body with practically no head. Huge ripe sour cherry notes in the aroma with some horse blanket, balsamic vinegar, chocolate, oak and raisins. Taste of balsamic vinegar, sour cherry, toast, oak, lemon juice and even some caramel. Very sour, but very complex too. Awesome.
