Bottle shared at home with the crew. Meglepoen edes (vagy inkabb nem eleg savanyu), sokkal tobb a stout benne, mint a lambic, igy viszont egy kisse gyumis beutesu, visszafogottan savas, laza es vizes(ebb) stout, mint lambic. Ez persze onmagaban nem problema, csak eppen en mast kerestem/masra szamitottam.

Bottle at home. Pours deeper golden with a foamy, thick head. Nose is loads of citruses, zesty, zappy, funky, a bit leathery. Inviting and intense. Taste is similar, perhaps less intensely. It’s zesty, funky, dry amd leathery, with a moderate bitterness. The finish is dry, citric, somewhat bitter, the body is light with an intense carbonation.

375ml bottle. Pours a very deep dark reddy brown, huge beige head. Aroma of cherries, mild chocolate and roast, light funk and woody notes. Taste is the same, the Kriek portion of this dominates at first, cherries, mild funk, oak. From the Guinness portion there is chocolate and mild roast, but it's a little muted compared to the Kriek. Light bodied.
This was actually a lot better than I was expecting after reading some reviews here, possibly because the blend skewed towards the Kriek, I think it worked surprisingly well.

Bottle shared at Brewver Belgian Winter Gathering. Darker red mahogany red color, no head. Aroma and flavor are fruity sourish, red fruit, very nicely balanced. Lingering fruity sourness. Very pleasant, but I don't get barrel aging in there tbh. 9-8-8,5-8-8,5

75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Pours a misty pink, pinkish white head. Lovely scharbeekse cherry expressions with a complimentary bourbon touch. Not much lambic depth, just a light tang, gently sour, but nicely fruity. Good stuff.

Bouteille 75cl @ Belgian Winter gathering 01 March 2025 – Tim’s place, thanks Eugene. BB 09/2036.
Léger pourpre, col fin blanc-cassé voire sur un léger rosé.
Arôme sur un fruité de cerise bien présent avec un effet aigrelet des griottes assez sympathique – agréable de voir ces cerises régionales refaire un retour. Le Bourbon est en léger addition – je n’y ai pas vraiment noté un quelconque effet vanillée au point d’en avoir un impact sensoriel.
Palais sur un funk plaisant avec un apport finement aigrelet de la griotte, le Bourbon est plutôt discret et en appui. Le caractère de lambic me semble un peu en retrait avec une bière qui passe plus pour une ‘fruited sour’ – cependant, un bon plus pour la profondeur apportée par la cerise – juteux et aigre mais chargée en fruit.
