Thin, off white head immediately left flotsam on a pale reddy brown still body. Looks thin - Doesn’t look very appealing. Definitely a cherry aroma! Thin, flat, dull,. Tastes so so thinned out - faint cherry, I can taste the reference to Belgian Dubbel - but again only faintly. Too much alcohol presence. It’s like a watered down Belgian Dubbel but with a similar ABV.

Keg at BD CJ. It pours hazy deep burnt orange with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, toffee, fudge, wood, leather, candy, spice, rivita and earth. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, earthy, damp wood, chewy malt, leather, dry leaves, spice, toffee, candi sugar and some warming alcohol with a drying, spicy finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. I just don’t find it that drinkable. Perhaps should be a touch sweeter?

Good, but the cherry is maybe a bit more intense than I need.
