37.5CL Bottle picked up in Belgium. I have a few of these so I\u2019ll grab a bottle ever few years after this initial rating. In the 3xxx\/3800 range of bottles. Quite a few of these. Very “limited” :) Enjoyed at 40F in stemmed wine-glass.<\/p>\n

A – No cork pop, actually no head unless I pour very vigorously. Appearance, dark reddish brown. Doesn\u2019t look very appealing on appearance alone.<\/p>\n

S – I get far more cherry aroma than raspberry. No tart or sour aroma at all. Some musty mold, oak, cheese and sweet cherry juice.<\/p>\n

T – There\u2019s a tart intensity on the sides of my mouth. Finish is just cherry juice with funk. At first, I do get a little bit of tart taste, more like a fruit salad than beer. I think all of the sour comes from raspberry. Copper, metal, tin taste in the middle to finish.<\/p>\n

M – non existent mouthfeel. Thin, oily.<\/p>\n

O – Unfortunately, I\u2019m very unimpressed by this beer. Will wait a few years to try the other bottle.<\/p><\/div>\n
