1990 A dark reddish brown. 1 finger head. Nose is a mild tartness and a lot of cane sugar with maple doughnut and a bit of peach. Very little carbonation. Is more oily. At first you get a musty basement funk and shoe grossness with a slight kriek. After some decanting, the basement mold taste has faded. Cheery comes through more but it’s a bit too sweet still

1990 Vintage. 750mL bottle at Grote Dorst, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Nose brings out artificially sweet cherries above anything - a little stale smelling as well. Flavour is thankfully not so artificial, with lots of lightly sweetened cherries and very faint funk. No idea what this would've tasted like fresh, but I doubt it was ever very complex. Drinkable, but off the mark. Why filter a kriek...

1984 vintage at home. It pours cloudy deep purple with a small bubbly off-white head. The nose is cherry, strawberry, jam, coconut, vanilla, wood and a hint of pure cocoa. The taste is sour dark cherry, damp wood, red grape, strawberry, plum skin, tangy jam and light lemon with a dry, lightly tart finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Smooth, well balanced and tasty. Has aged gracefully.

The official Odense sunny Thursday evening in June monster tasting event. 1981 vintage with a wet and pretty good looking cork. Hazy brown amber with a tiny off-white head. Complex aged aroma of cherry, raspberries, dried prunes and dates, and a faint balsamic vinegar note. Sweet and slightly tart flavour, with raspberries, dried dates and raisins. Faint cellar note, but has held up amazingly well.

(Bottle 25 cl) More orange than red, small bubbly head. Dry, tart with only a hint of sweetness. No real cherry-aroma. On a hot summer’s day you find nothing more quenching than a dry kriek. 060795

[Vintage 1997 - sampled 2004] A cognac colored beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and fruit, especially peach. The flavor is dusty sweet with alcohol running over the tongue. In my opinion a little over the top.

1997 vintage: Orangey-red colour. Woody, slightly marzipan-like aroma. Somewhat acetic. Sweet & sour, mainly with cherries and some sugary, marshmallowy notes. Sweet and sour finish.
