    Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy reddish brown color ale with a big foamy head with good retention and minimal retention. Aroma of sour cherries with light oak notes and a bigger malt backbone then expected. Taste is quite interesting with some lightly tart cherry and some subtle oak with a great dry caramel malt backbone. Full body with limited filtration and good carbonation. I must admit to having enjoyed that one quite a bit but more oak presence would have had complexity and made this even more enjoyable.

    Bottle: Decants a turbid reddish amber ale with a small tight cap that reduces to a ring but laces moderately well. Aroma of wood sour fruit, smoke, mustiness and cereals. Tastes of tart fruit, dry, woody, some smoky rye tastes, finish is dry and the tartness gives way to a sourness and bittering...a real pucker maker...great! Not a real Kriek but a kriek-like fruit ale with distinctive sourness and oak mellowing.
