Bottle. Pours hazy red with thin white edges. Aromas of strong clean cherries up front, some earthy and stable-like notes, slight vinegar and tartness. Taste is tart but mature, sweet cherries, english jelly sweets, leather, dry woody notes and vinegar.

Didn't survive that well. Not completely rotten, but not very pleasant either. Papery, some funky cherry, bit of sourness. Fun to have tried, but no.

Bottle from Ohtsuki. Red copper coloured and with not much head or sparkle. Aroma is very funky and sour, vinegar, cherries in the background, but dominated by mustiness and sourness. Maybe even a bit sweaty! Taste is lovely. Initial sour punch and then slowly fades and merges with the sharp cherry taste. Slightly floral too. Pretty interesting. Soft in the mouth, with not much carbonation, but very smooth. Great stuff.

Found in a lost corner in my cellar. I bought this bottle in 1993 at Hanssens itself. Dusty aroma, with oak, caramel, porto and cherries. The taste is a very pleasant surprise. The mousse has almost gone, the years have rounded and eased the sourness. Still a good cherry taste, some syrupy sweetness, honey and caramel. An outstanding example of a well-ripened old kriek (4.0: 7/3/9/4/17). Re-rate, fresher bottle (2000 probably)Strong cherry aroma with lemon and oak. Very sour, but also with a good deal of cherry and some almond bitterness. Lemon. Dry mouthfeel. Great kriek lambic, one of my all time favorites. Another re-rate: somewhat citric cherry aroma and flavor. Cheesecake. Firm cherry character.

Hazy red colour with no head. This is more floral and sharp than the Schaarbeekse version. More natural though. Acidic burn in the finish.

Bottle shared with the KL tasting crew. Poured a hazy dark reddish amber with little life. The aroma is big yeasty, molasses, dry fruits. The flavour is moderate sour with a big dry yeasty, malt, tart citrus palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.
