75 cl bottle, no label, just a pinkish red stripe. This beer is not allowed to be sold by EU-rules. F*** the rules! Pinkish red color, no head. Bought in Café Moriau in St Pieters Leeuw. The landlady said it was the very last kriek her brother made himself. Must be 5 years old or so. Amazing aroma. Cherry, cherry pits, almonds, ash. No carbon whatsoever. Quietly sweet cherry flavor. Wood, ash, bitter almonds, fresh cheese. Short aftertaste with sherry, bitter almonds and cherry wine. Absolutely amazing beer. has aged well and has developed like an old sherry. Thin, but complex and full of character. I will return to St Pieters Leeuw for more if i ever get the chance. 2 points extra for breaking EU-rules. 38 cl bottle, about 7 years old. Strawberry and raspberry in the aroma mixed with the obvious cherries, just a bit perfumed. Perfumed somewhat faded kriek flavor with notes of rosewater and vanilla. Limited sourness, marmalade-like cherry fruit. Cherry pits. Aspartame sweetness, marzipan. Just a bit thin. Loved it.

Thank you for sharing JorisPPattyn! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ "De grote Black Tuesday Tasting". Purchased in 1987! Tasted to side-by-side with a kriek from the same era (brewery or blender unknown). Dark red amber, no head. Nos is mellow vinegar, puckering, sourish with interesting sour cherry juice layered on top. Taste is oxidized candy, sour puckering, vinegar, sour cherry juice, oak,…Easy to drink, body showing some signs of age but easy to drink, works well. A bit hard to pinpoint but as odd as those flavor combinations sounded, as good did this one taste.

2000 Vintage. 750mL bottle at Grote Dorst, pours a hazy amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out faded cherries, some sweetness, and jam - not a lot of funk. Flavour is fairly jammy and lightly sweet, with very subtle funk. Not very complex at all; very simplistic. Drinkable, but not a superior lambic, especially for a 14 year old one. Another disappointing old filtered kriek.

RBESG 2010, Grand Tasting, bottle
Cloudy dark amber color, with red shades; small head. Nice ripe cherry aroma, sweet. Some cherry juice flavor, some sweetness, lightly oxidized, the sourness is present but low. Nothing special.

6th June 2010. RBESG 10 Grand Tasting at the Brasserie 4:20 warehouse. Hazy red beer. Light crisp palate. Tart but sweet fresh cherry. Minerally fruit, really cuts through. Finishes crisp.

Bottle at RBESG Rome Grand Tasting, apparently vintage 2000. Pink colour, white head. Aroma of cherries, musty, yeast, tart. Flavour is dusty, cherries, cardboard, light butter, oxidation, not too sour but not very refreshing either. Light bodied. Not very good imo.

Bottle @ RBESG, Rome. Vintage 2000. Thank you J. Lowenlund. Pours unclear pink with a creamy white head. Almond, cherries and a slight oxidation. Oaky, cripsy and very dry. Refreshing and still holding up pretty well.
