September 30, 2018<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 750ml bottle <br> 5.40% ABV <br> $13.50<br> No discernible date code anywhere on the bottle, but it's a Flanders Red, it will still be good to drink in 20 years. I bought myself this as a reward for getting a new job contract. <br> <br> The beer pours a translucent cherry red with a huge generous rocky head, light tan in colour. The sides of the glass display plenty of bubbles. The aroma is very pungent and consists of vinegar tones, tart cherries, and some weak spices.

The flavour is mellower than the aroma with more cherry flavour, both sweet and tart, and well as some smoky oak notes I did not detect in the nose. Not as yeast forward as the better Belgian Flanders Reds but quite good.
