We macerated local tart cherries of the Gorsem varietal (at a ratio of 300gr/l) for 2 months in a beer brewed one year before.

750 ml bottle, bottled Feb 2020, shared by Sander, thanks! Deep ruby body, with a big, creamy, pink head. Aroma of smooth, sweet cherry, almond, red wine, some wood, some dark berries. Tastes quite similar, with more tart cherry notes, more tannins. Medium, slick mouthfee, with an average carbonation. Finishes perfect, dry, tannic, vinous, wooden, with smooth cherry, red wine, dark berries, dark grapes. Tasty! Drinks like an elegant red wine, with a cherry twist. The cherries are really smooth, eespecially in the nose, while the taste has lovely tannic notes. Beautiful, balanced stuff! Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 5 / 17

Clear deep ruby red beer, big thick creamy orange to pink head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: first very funky, then lots of almonds, some marzipan, lots of cherries. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice acidity, very bitter, fruity, lots of cherries, some almonds, nice stuff, very good! Aftertaste: super fruity, cherries, almonds, nice bitterness in the finish.
