Dennis: I really love the deep heavy aspects of this beer, it does seem to come across at times much more like a cider than an ale...perhaps they should have called it a cherry cider? It will poor flat, but somehow the carbonation will make a meager appearance throughout, which only adds to the heavy characteristic. Aside from that really all your going to get is a taste of very very ripe cherries. Know how some people say that things sometimes taste best right before they go bad? This reminds me of that.
Jen: I tend to be skeptical about fruit ales, but Unibroue's tend to take unusual flavors and just make them work. This brew pours with a nice cherry red, almost like juice, and with the very limited carbonation (almost none), you might think it was juice. The flavors are exactly what you would expect...cherries, cherries and more cherries. The first two sips are fabulous. The carbonation is more noticeable with the mouthfeel, but this bottle seems to be a little more flat than our first. You get a slight alcohol twinge at the end, but nothing that really makes your tastebuds stand up. Unfortunately, this brew turns into cough medicine after a few swigs, so drink this fast and while it is still very cold, or serve it on ice like the bottle says to do!
