Courtesy of Beerman6686. Pours hazy deep rose with thin white head. The aroma is moderate in strength and carries notes of prunes, cherries and black pepper. There’s also a mild under current of sour tartness. The taste is prune, cherry and a moderate level of black pepper. A nice smooth sweetness seems to run from front to back and balancing the peppery-ness and dark cherry fruitiness.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Miver. Pours a clear amber golden with an off-white head. Sweetish fruity aroma with light notes of yeast. Quite full-bodied with plenty of fruit, a little phenols and yeast. Not many traces of cherries though. A little sulphurous with a dry finish and some alcohol showing. 010509

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a bit of sediment floating around under a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches on a malty back ground. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of spices - primarily cloves, as well as medium notes of malt, alcohol, peaches, and perfume, leading to a dry alcoholic and spicy finish.

750ml bottle @Hoboken#1-pours a white ring for a head and hazy amber color. Aroma is cherry/wood/grainy/spicy. Taste is cherry/wood/grainy/spicy, smoother than expected from the aroma.

Hazy golden-amber colour. Fruity nose - cherry skins - with light malt and alcohol. Spritzy carbonation fails to sufficiently cut through the syrupy body. Light cherry pie accents. Finishes slightly cloying then with an alcoholic dryness. Not particularly well-structured nor compelling.

Had the pleasure of sampling this at the 1/27/2008 Pittsburgh ratebeer.com gathering upstairs, Sharp Edge Creekhouse. It will be a long time, if ever, I see a spread of bottles like I did there - ever again. I am not good enough for the beers that were that we sampled! For example, how about this beer; Church Brew Works Cherry Quadzilla. Very little cherry aroma, but it is there. Pinkish ale light brown in appearance. Barely any carbonation, as with most high alky brews. Way too strong for my lager loving taste buds. Strong enough that I cannot really appreciate the cherry. Not as enjoyable as St. Bernardus Abt 12 or Omegang 3-p’s. But a little more on par with Avery The Reverend or Weyer’s Quad.
