Tango is a big, bold, Belgian-style dark ale brewed with 1,200 pounds of cherries!
Tango pours a beautiful ruby color with a nice fluffy head, offering a very complex aroma of cherries and other dark fruits. The strong 750 ml glass bottle finished with a cork and cage allows the very robust bottle-conditioning responsible for Tango’s effervescence. Dark fruit flavors join the cherries to match up with the strong malt bill with the Belgian yeast adding its 2 cents along the way.
Tango weighs in at 10.6% ABV and was brewed using a base of Pilsner Malt with Honey Malt, Special B, Aromatic Malt and a touch of Chocolate Malt. Apollo hops balance all that sweetness to 35 IBU.

750 ml bottle purchase at Georgio’s Liquors for $8.95. With the ABV marked at 10.6. Dark cloudy amber color with thin lace in the snifter. Aroma is black cherries covered in candy sugar and plums .
The flavor has mild cherry upfront leading into dark fruits and Belgian candi sugar. The alcohol is well hidden with a softer carbonation level. Overall it is about what it should be, I would drink it again if presented but not ever going out of my way to get another bottle.

12oz Bottle, 6th July 2014, gift from a friend. Pours hazy reddish brown with virtually no head or lacing. Rich malty and fruity aroma with cherry and plum notes. Intense cherry and nutty malts in-mouth with earthy pungency and subtle spiciness. Finish is fruity with rich cherry and citric tanginess. Pleasant zingy texture and full body. Lush.

Pours deep ruby-tinged mahogany into a trappist glass. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Dark plum and pit fruit aromas. Sweet pit fruit and cocoa upfront turning dry and spritzy in the medium length, mild cherry finish.

750 ml corked and crowned bottle. My bottled says 10.6% ABV. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a small brief beige head. Big alcohol aroma with hints of dark dried fruits and Chambord. Flavor is sweet black cherry schnapps and lots of carbonation. The cherry flavor seems forced. Not very Belgian-like. Swallowing this brings a warming alcohol burn. Rough and unpolished. I hoped for better.

Growler shared at the 6th annual Richmond Industry Gathering, 11/27/11. Pours a clear amber color with a thin head. Very fruity aroma with notes of stone fruits, berries, banana and tropical fruits. The taste is peppery hops, berries, tropical notes and some phenolic notes. Medium-full bodied.
