Dark ruby colour, nice rocky head that stays for a while, fair lacing. Aroma is intensive cherry juice, also cocoa, some buckwheat honey. Feels natural. Medium sweetness, lightly sour. Good.

Bottle shared by tderoeck at his place, shared with himself, Ster and Erwin. Dark beer flavored with cherry and chocolate... Creamy, thick, pale yellowish beige, dense head, very dark chestnut brown colour with burgundy edges, hazy. Aroma is dominated by a strong scent of the cherry-flavored Belgian chocolates brand Mon Chéri - perhaps not surprising considering the combination of chocolate and cherries, and this odour blocks nearly everything else; notes of ’Haagse hopjes’, toffee, cola (most notably, as tderoeck’s wife observed: cherry cola, which I never actually tasted myself so far), industrial strawberry cake, old-fashioned cocoa powder intended to prepare improvised chocolate milk and sugared tea are largely confirmations of this all-consuming Mon Chéri odour. Expectedly, this weird concoction behaves sugary sweet in the mouth, certainly in the onset, with strong candied cherry presence next to impressions of dates and strawberry, softish carbo enhances a silky, creamy mouthfeel. The milk chocolate and cocoa powder are present from the start, covering up an underlying caramelly maltiness; heavily sugared red jam returns in the end, and apart from a very faint tea-like herbal hop accent buried deep underneath, there is not much bitterness to counter the cloying sweetness. Still, this comes across as less sugary than many (often Belgian) sweet fruit beers I had. The Polish, after so many other countries, are experiencing their own craft beer revolution now and this movement has brought forth some really exciting brews which are receiving increasing international attention; this, however, is the living proof that overenthusiastic experiment can go in a wrong direction as well: this scores high in my list of ’weirdest beers ever tasted’ and since the cherry praline flavor dominates most of it, it is basically a one-trick pony, a feature I do not usually appreciate in beers. Still, in judging something as bizarre as this, it all comes down to asking yourself whether you actually enjoyed drinking it - and I have to honestly admit that I had worse - or at least more predictable - ’candy beers’ than this. Fascinating, but I don’t think I could have finished the whole bottle by myself...

31/X/16 - 50cl bottle @ home - Ster's first Ghentian tasting, BB: I/2017 (2016-1257) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!

Clear purple brown beer, small aery off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: quite some chocolate, spicy, caramel, sweet, floral, fruity. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, bit sourish, very fruity, lots of sugar, some ersatz chocolate. Aftertaste: sweet and fruity, pretty sugary, sourish touch, candy, weird but not bad, I have to admit! Nice dessert beer.

Opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Nose of chocolate Nesquik! Palate is light and semi dry, decent carbonation. Super sweet artificial chocolate vies with intense and mildly sour Cherry Cola. Light finish. Tangy fruity linger. Most entertaining but drinkability is very low, a few mouthfulls were more than enough.
