750mL bottle, pours an opaque deep dark rusted red / mahogany with a small white head. Nose is complex and deep, with intense barnyard funk, deep cherry, cherry pit, and some marzipan. Flavour is full of cherry pits, tart jammy cherries, light-to-moderate funk, and a tiny touch of phenols. Jammy, with lots of cherry pit and again a bit of the phenols. The smell is more impressive. The flavour is indeed pleasant, but those light phenolic notes are a tiny bit detracting. Still great, but not as well-executed as some other 3F beers.

Bouteille 75cl, bottled 06/06/2019, BB 26/10/2039. From one of the online sales.
Couleur acajou quasi pourpre de griottes. Le tout sur un voile léger, col fin rosé pétillant.
Arôme est frais bien fruité généreux - griotte, je note un léger apport 'soufre' qui est suivi par des effluves finement acidulées, ce dernier, comme en bouche, s'estompe après qcq temps, léger boisé/chêne. Peut-être un cran en dessous de ce que j'ai pu voir récemment chez Boerenerf et une Oude Kriek toute fraîche - ici l'age diminue déjà un peu l'intensité du fruit.
Palais est plaisant avec un bouquet griotte marqué et accompagné par un funk classique de lambic, retrouve un léger apport de chêne et un côté soufre qui s'estompe un peu une fois que la bière décante un bon quart d'heure. Le fruité donne une sensation d'épaisseur en bouche. Je note que cette version comporte aussi du lambic de chez Lindemans et le caractère s'en ressent d'une version stricto 3F. Une sécheresse perdure en fin de bouche, le pulpeux des griottes entières donne
