Amber beer made with black cherries and four different hops. Floral aroma leads to a bitter taste, the finish is dry and lingering.

(Bottle) Pours a clear mid brown with red hints and small off-white head. Subtle aroma with notes of toast and maybe hints of nuts and dark toffee. Medium body with medium carbonation. Maybe a hint of fruit in the foretaste; burnt toffee / very dark roast malt notes quickly emerge and give a long burnt bitter finish. Not at all what I expect for a Kriek - couldn’t detect the cherries and it’s quite a bitter beer.

Cellar clean out session Pt Deux. Hazy amber beer, patchy cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Dry but sweetish malts, a little toffee. Ripe fruits. Cherry? Went through on stilts I think. Dry finish. A dull dull beer and very lame.

Bottle from brewpub. Deep Ruby colour with an off white head. Aroma is malty caramel with only the faintest cherry hint. Taste caramel light sweet.
