There are two good inches of dense, fizzy, tan head. Color is a cloudy, dark brown with pale sediment. Wow: rich, tangy nose has dark toffee syrup, chocolate and cherries. The front is tangy toffee, spicy with butter. In the middle there is dark, rich malt and tangy fruit. Lots of alcohol in the finish, with some buried cherries and bitter chocolate. Nice cherries push forward in the aftertaste, with some biscuit and spice. Wow. What a great use for Lindemans Kriek. Delicious, spicy, dark, fruity brew with a quite bitter finish. Brilliant.

Served in snifter at 50 degrees.

Appearance - hazy chestnut brown with two finger tan head that dissipates quickly. Nice lacing.

Aroma - cherries, caramel and sweet malt waft from the snifter.

Taste - hint of funk. Cherries, malt, and toffee finish off sweet.

Mouthfeel - smooth, medium body with lively carbonation.

Overall - well crafted ale that makes a perfect after dinner digestive.
