MBCC. Bottle. Hazy deep red with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, sour cherries and barnyard. Flavor is medium sweet and rather acidic. Dry and rather acidic finish. 221021

Damn. Incredible kriek. Massive amount of cherry, and all the flavours that come with it. Cinnamon-esque from the stones, jammy from the fruit, oaky from the wood, vinous from the barrel. Super intense, and crazy delicious.

Pours dark redpink ( exact same color as B 228 ) . small pinkish head fades rather fast, but builds up bigger than the b 228. Scent is definately more funk forward, wet oak, less cherries ( but still fruity). Taste is sharp, med high carbonation. Funky, dry cherries, tart, wet oak, mildly acetic. More different than what I pictured it to be, in comparancy with 228. Less fruity ( still very fruity) , more wet oak here. Still no clear, recognizable wine aspect. Touch higher carbo, more acidity as well ( other has close to zero acetic, this has some) .
