10oz goblet at Kaelderkold Barcelona pours a hazy bright red with some lacing white head. Nose is bright with cherry, some cough syrup, plenty of funk, band aid, wood pulp, some candy sugar, a little raspberry too. Flavor is slick and sweet, cherry candies, some raspberry, a little bit of raspberry vinaigrette. Mostly clean finish. Hides the alcohol well.

Bottle sample @ BAB’14. Acajou, col blanc fin. Arôme est fruité assez profond au niveau cerise, note un côté chêne léger avec ce petit côté vin caramélisé et pointe boisée. Palais est épais avec un caractère griotte bien renforcé, léger fini vinaigre. Une bière profitant pas mal du Monbazillac qui est déjà utilisée dans la Cuvée de Mortagne, cette dernière étant déjà une de mes bières de références. Reste un cran en dessous de la Malaga Red, mais une bière solide.

#50 Alvinne beer. Sampled draft @ Brugs Bier Festival 2014. Reddish, hazy bright, little head. Tart & fruity nose, tart wine mixed with syrup, sweetish malty with touch cherries, fruits. Taste is a odd mix that doesn’t work for me, tastes of vinegar, glue, sweet malts & sugar that doesn’t mix with tart wine, sour berries, candy, lemon, cherries, very contradictory, never comes together for me. Lower c arb. sticky body. This mix doesn’t work in any way for me.

Draught Deep red beer with faint red foam. Intense with a smoked cherry nose. Taste matching the nose, with a kind of brandy-like addition (spoiling strictly nothing), fruity esters. Medium to well bodied, thanks to the ethanol mainly fruit-filled. One-off special, but well worth searching;.

[10/20/13] Draught at Eurhop Beer Festival 2013 in Rome. Clear deep red-amber. Lovely aroma, sourish and oaky, with cherries and malt. Sourish-sweetish flavor with cookies, malt, cherries, vinous notes, caramel, quite a bit of oak and a rather dry finish. Medium-bodied. Nice stuff.
