Almost opaque reddish dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, airy and with reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a mild creamy sweetness. The cherry is ripe and strong and has a very mellow geuezy vibe and a funky vibe. Ripe darker fruits on the smooth finish, some darker berry fruits as well. Smooth finish. All right. Like the cherry and ripe fruit vibe, just not getting any old ale character. More of a mellow aged fruited gueuze.

Didn't know this would be exactly what I needed. Reminiscent of sherry, this is old, oaky, and darkly cherry-like.
