Awakened from an extended slumber in French oak barrels, we then aged Abyssus on sour cherries for another full year; giving this libation a smooth, yet complex, profile.

473mL can. Pours cloudy mahagony. Aroma is earthy and tart; notes of dark cherry, cinnamon, balsamic, barnyard funk. Flavour has dark cherry, wild yeast, a bit of balsamic; very well-balanced. Excellent

473 ml can. Seems on to have Kriek in a can… Pours a copperish mahogany with light foamy head. Aromas of green oak, a bit of balsamic vinegar, cherry skins and dry toasted malts. Flavors of buttery oak, spicy cherry pie, dark berries and more dry toasted malts. Still a bit on the cherry pie side of a Belgian Kriek.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Reddish brown with thin off white ring. Sour cherry, oak, some balsamic. Not bad.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Nose is complex, with lots of gently tart cherries, light balsamic, lots of oak, and a touch of wild yeast. Flavour reveals moderately tart cherries upfront, accentuated by light-to-moderate sweetness, plenty of oak, and a touch of balsamic. Seems more like a Flemish Red to me with cherries. The ABV is well-contained. Excellent.

Deep dirty maroon with a small beige head. Sweet, light nailpolish and cherry. Soured cherry, bitterness and a weird aftertaste. Not quite there.
