330 ml. bottle sampled. Purchased @ Willems & Zoon. This one is bit of surprise. The beers that Dochter van de Korenaar & De Molen made together with Hof ten Dormaal to support them financially after their fire were well advertised but I heard nothing about this one. I was a bit surprised to find this one. Small gusher. Deep hazy touch amber orange, creamy slightly off-white head. Nose is odd, heavy plastic, old cereal, old oatmeal, touch mold, sweet malts,… Puzzling, tad peach and esters. Taste is odd, papier-maché, plastic, old cereal, stale, faint near moldy, old candy, candy sugar, dough, plaster, stale yeast,… Weak & quite odd. Dull but somewhat in a bad way. Something didn’t feel entirely right here. I blame Hof ten Dormaal to be honest.

Bottle - Deep, dark cherry notes with a touch of wood. Dark maroon purple with a light pink head. Nice cherry notes, touch of wood and a light tartness. Nice, but not as complex as I had hoped.

Bottle from Belgiuminabox.com . No gusher in this case. Pours intense, dark redbrown. Big white head. Smell is fleshy. Taste is sharp, sour, intense fleshy, some oak, some fruits. Very overcarbonated, which is a sad thing, cause otherwise this beer is very nice! Would be totally awesome with a bit more body though. Somewhat dry finish.

Poured from a bottle. Aroma is fairly cherry forward with some sour and sweet, candy cherry notes. Some light oak notes with light acidity and citrus notes. A light barnyard mustiness. Faintly medicinal. Pours a hazy, deep purplish-red with a light brown hue and a moderately small, somewhat thin, slightly pink head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and medium small legs. Flavor is moderately acidic upfront with some light citrus and tropical fruit notes. Moderate sour cherry notes with some lighter candy cherry character mid palate. Medium light bitterness with some light oak notes. A hint of alcohol. A hint of mustiness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty interesting sour cherry beer. Good cherry character with some light oak notes. Acidity is well balanced. Some sweetness.

33cl Bottle from Prik&Tik Baelus. Gusher. Dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of lots of spices, cinnamon, gale, cardamom, cola, vinegar, balsamic vinegar, sour cherries. Smells infected (read: unintended). Flavour is wood, sourness, vinegar, stale red wine, cinnamon, cola, acetic and bitter finish. Light bodied. Too harsh far me, and I don’t think this beer was intended to be sour in the first place. I’ve had beers from ’t Koelschip that tasted the same.

33cl Bottle from Prik&Tik Baelus. Brown colour, beige head. Aroma of malts, chocolate, cocoa, nuts, toast, husks, light coffee. Flavour is less outspoken, but has the same features. Light bodied, slightly over-carbonated.

330ml bottle [second of a De Leite series kindly delivered by bartlebier - I’m very thankful!]. Clear crimson colour with small to average, frothy to macropore, diminishing, pinkish head. Spicy, tart-ish aroma, morello cherry notes on oak and leather. Taste is dry, moderately sour, minimally tannic, notes of sour cherry, hints of wood, some vinegar spiciness. Compact, low-key, unresisting.

330ml bottle [longer reserved in pleasant anticipation of an overall five bottle De Leite series delivered by bartlebier]. Clear golden colour with average to huge, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Funky, spicy, yeasty aroma with more than just a bretty touch, bubblegum notes, a touch of hay and piss, vanilla and oak. Taste is dry and tart, slightly bretty, fruit and vinegar acidity, some green apple, a touch of hay; a touch of oak and vanilla in the finish. Well carbonated, soft palate, superbly balanced; mild and discreet.
