Bottle generously shared by Pedro. Pain in the ass to open, what with the cap and then the cork and all, so bring your toolbox. Pours a deep ruby color with minimal head (but lots of fizzy carbonation at first.) Aromas are initially VERY off-putting: cherry and vomit (?!) As it airs and warms the vomit seems to dissipate and takes on an oak smell. Flavor is very nice, especially after the disappointment on the nose end. Not very tart, but a nice cherry flavor that kind of fills the palate and has a bit of barrel.

The Kriek (B3 Montmorency & Morello Blend) Nice reddish/pinkish head, fruity flavors, cherries all over, sharp sourness, a bit one dimensional, too much carbo, mwah
