This beer is inspired by the tradition of steeping whole cherries on old brown beer in the nearby city of Oudenaarde, where many producers were making it in the first half of the 20th century

Private import. Thanks to Phil. Subtly caramelized wine aromas with notes of well-dosed cherries spread over a set of complex farm yeasts. Reddish brown and fuzzy it is capped with a small pinkish foam that barely holds. Subtly malted palate with light accents of caramel and chocolate quickly giving way to acetic, vinous and fruity notes. Cherries are present and wild, blending well with the winey and wild side of the product. Fairly well balanced overall except for the malty side which would be better to be more enhanced. Importation privée. Merci à Phil. Des aromes vineux subtilement caramélisés avec des notes de cerises bien dosées s’étalent sur un ensemble de levures fermières bien complexes. Brune rougeâtre et floue elle se coiffe d’une petite mousse rosâtre qui tient à peine. Entrée de bouche subtilement maltée avec de légers accents de caramel et de chocolat laissant rapidement la place à des notes acétiques, vineuses et fruitées. Les cerises sont présentes et sauvages, se mariant bien au coté vineux et sauvage du produit. Assez bien équilibrée dans l’ensemble sauf pour le coté malté qui aurait intérêt à être plus rehaussé.

Bottle. Color: Lightly hazy dark reddish purple, very thin pinkish head. Aroma: Tart, cherries, caramel hints. Taste: Over moderate tart, fruity notes of cherry, cherry-pit, wood, tannins, hints of caramel. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Just over medium body, below average carbonation. Light to moderate sweetness, light bitterness. Nice one.

Flaska från SB. Aningen brunare än rött vin, klar. lågt skum. Syrlig lätt acetisk doft med mycket körsbär. Mjuk vinäger, sötsyrliga körsbär, fat, mjuk kropp med pigg, på gränsen till vass syra. Fin smakbild. Gott
