Taken from the cellar at 62 Degrees F and poured into a wine flute.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A &#8211; Wow. It is a Flanders Style Red so it poured a very murky plum brown with hints of red and violet. It\u2019s a very gorgeous beer. Reminds me of a vintage Rodenbach Grand Cru. 2 Fingers of light brown head dissipates instantly to nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; Smells very nice. Up front, sweet ripe boiled cherries and heavy toasted oak. Very musty plum and tobacco scent and is almost exactly like a Rodenbach Grand Cru.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Once again. Rodenbach Clone? It\u2019s very much a dilato flanders red ale. I get Cherries, Strawberries and sour grapes or dried grape skins. Big oak profile that stays with you for a very long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Very high carbonation, medium body and tartness that really dries out the mouth and leaves you thirsting for more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; I expected a lot more from this but, for what I had to go through to get it, I\u2019d rather just pick up a Rodenbach at the Co-Op for $9. Yes, I\u2019m crazy and it is good but, too difficult for me to acquire to give it soaring ratings.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;
