Bottle from Beergium, bought in May 2016. Almost black with a large tan head. Aroma of red berries, chocolate and roasted malt. Similar taste, also licorice. Some light tartness in the finish. A pleasant one.

Dark brown color. Very good chocolate malt character, slightly sour cherry nose. Low carbonation, so dense, with a fair amount of sourness with a touch of sweetness . Not bad, but don’t love the base beer.

Bottled 330ml (SIP)
Opaque black color, huge brown head, lace. Aroma has roasted malts, sweetish notes, coffee, when poured also earthy notes. Medium-bodied. Sweetish toasted maltyness, fruity but cherries mix with strong choco-coffee so that they are not so recognizable. Sweetish but also tartness from cherries, light lactic notes. Long roasted, sticky aftertaste. Less enjoyable than the other Must Kulds I’ve had.

Shared 33cl bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige cola-like head that persists. Aroma of roasted malt with chocolate notes. Taste begins with roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and then finishes a tart cherry flavor. The cherry is a bit overpowering at the finish. I prefer the original to this version, but this is still quite good.

BOTTLE 33 CL. Almost black, huge tan meringue head. Aroma is sweet black chocolate, cocoa powder, dried sour cherries - I mean sour, not the syrupy sweetness of crappy fruit beers. Earthy coffee grounds. The taste is complex and unique - sweet chocolate, espresso bitterness, really sour cherries and cherry pith bitterness. Creamy, big yet easy-drinking body. A kind if beer where the fruit really works.

Shared with me by Travlr at Hazel in DC. Poured a pitch black, with a black oil texture. Light tan head. Aroma was dark chocolate, roasted malts, with a ton of candied cherry notes. Lots of dark chocolate, roasted notes, fake cherry taste (it may be real cherries, but it has that artificial cherry flavoring like in cough syrup). Not as good as the base beer.
