Belgian ale with cherry and elderberry.
Deep dark red colour (EBC 40), with a light pink, compact and lacing head.
Soft fruity aroma, with hints of almond and mildly sour cherries. Sweet and fruity, with a nice balance between sweet and sour. An excellent dessert beer.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep burgundy color with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Lots of sediment in the bottom of the glass. Big, sweet cherry aromas with some tart elderberry notes as it warms. More sweet cherry on the palate with berry aromas and Belgian yeast notes on the finish.

The aromas are a blend of cherries, metallic and minerals. Flavors are slightly more sweet than tart, sweet cherries and some lingering bittersweet in the finish. Good carbonation and body. Nothing special.

Bottle at Ebenezers, Crewe. Sharp sour cherries dominate the aroma here. It pours a murky burgundy with a small pale pink head. Creamy and very sweet (almost sickly) in the mouth. But at the same time the main flavour of cherries adds a sharpness that grows in passing. Hints of cranberries too. And the finish ? Well yet more cherries naturally. Alcoholic strength is very well hidden. Overall, a lot nice than this review seems to suggest !

Fruity, sweet, strong. Candy cherries but sour and tart, smooth, boozy. Nice.

(Keg at Hilpeä Hauki, 20210717) The beer poured reddish brown and rather cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sugared cherries, caramel and Belgian style yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sugared cherries, toasted malts, spiciness, floralness and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, malty and bitter. The notes of canned sugared cherries was just too strong.

Keg. Nose is almond, marzipan, cough syrup, cherry boiled sweets. Taste is almond, marzipan, candy sugar, sickly sweet cherry syrup, pear boiled sweets. Awful.
