50cl bottle - 2016 edition. Hazy muddy ruby pour wit a thin light pink head. The aroma is very fruity, with a lot of raspberries and cherries, but also has some cognac and wood. Taste notes include sour cherries, macerated sour cherries, raspberries, raspberry jam, cognac or brandy (or, in any case, a grape-based liquor), oak barrel, some almonds, very subtle vanilla. Light sweet, medium sour and just a bit alcoholic. Beautiful.

28/11/2015 15cl sample from tap @WBS2015, Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte. Red, pink, orange colour with a small white head leaving a lacing. Wood, red fruits of all kinds, mostly sour but very enjoyable, funky, tart. Good god. I already loved Phi a lot, Cuvée Sofie is definitely one my favorites and they made it even better again. With a colour like that, with a small white head for such beers and such a taste.... I can only do one thing. I hope to be able to try the 3 next to each other in future.
