Bottle. Clear deep ruby with a small ring if bubbles. Tons of cherries, funk, old wood, hay, oak, light herbal. Not su much almonds here. Over medium sour. Good stuff, not as good as a properly blended kriek but it's nice to try this every once in a while.

Bottle (blend 15 20/21, 6.6% ABV). Deep red, no head. Brooding cherry aroma with almonds, the barn, only hints of old lemon. Almost still. Really rich cherries, almond and apricot stones. Sourness seems at first outmatched but comes through with a funky and old lemony grip. Very good. The cherries are not as complex as some 3F beers but they are majestic.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 10.12.2021. deep red color, tiny bubbles. smells cherries, marzipan, funky, earthy, stone fruits, baby diaper, bit lactic. nice smell. full body, no carbonation. tastes cherries, stone fruits, bit lactic, nutty, marzipan, grassy, earthy, peppery. finishes rather dry and light to medium sour with notes of pepper, tobacco and earthy notes. pretty good one, rather on the dry more pepper and earthy notes then cherries coming through. Overall I quite like it.

Pours a beautifull, particularly dark red. Small formation of 'foam' thats pinkwhite. Intense , room-filling aroma of wet cherries. Intense red-level of intensity, almost ( though I haven't put them side to side) . Taste is medium acidic, you can tell it's actually higher by the finish, but the cherries are so intense (still, 5 years after botteling) that it gets more countered than you'd give it credit for when you're simply drinking this, rather than picking it appart. Bit one dimentional, very cherry forward, than again that might be the idea of this beer though. Not as flat as I would have thought, I'd say medium low to medium carbonation - whereas most Geuzes of cherry beers can go rather high, so it's still lower obviously.

Way too acidic and monotone...

Monday 7th March 2022, monthly beer exchange in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Usual 5 suspects sharing beers and talking bollocks. Cheers Mike for the 0.75cl bottle of this the 6.6% ABV season 20 - 21 Blend No. 15 version. My last beer before my train. Slightly rushed, but managed to get the gist of it's sour cherry flavour and aroma.
