UPDATED: AUG 24, 2020 21K Rating. On tap at Avenue Pub as 'Kriek à l'Ecossaise'. Pours a dark ruby with small pinkish white head that lasts. The aroma is cherry skin, oak, funk, whiskey, barnyard. Slick body, tart cherry, nutty, vanilla, funky, light acidity, light whiskey in finish, enjoyed this.

UPDATED: NOV 3, 2018 Tap at moeder. Ruby lots of head and lacing. Spicy whiskey notes. Cherry sour notes. Med tar light seeet.

Tap at BXL 2018. This kriek was amazing. Not by the pure beer on its own ( couldn't even find the barrel aroma), but it was so. So, so fresh... Juicy to the point its nearly fleshy. Extremely natural cherries over a very mild, funky lambic. Hell yeah. Quality perspective!? Way to young. Taste perspective ? I'd like to drink this daily. Not sure how it will be when it settles, and matures. This might be one of those beers you want to drink 'too' young!

My first pour of the Shelton Brothers festival care of JVR himself, walked straight to the loon booth and ordered one of these. Pours a plum purple red with white head. Notes are beautiful cherry pie, et tu brut, kriek, light vanilla, whiskey, dark cherry, and oak. Medium to fuller mouthfeel. Impressive stuff.

On tap at BXL 2018. Pours beautiful dark red colour. No head. Dark mellow cherries, notes of oak, slight vineous notes, really slight notes of whisky in the aroma. Still the smell is delicious. Lots of cherries at first. Notes of whisky in the middle. Cherries as well. The combination of cherries and the taste of the whisky from the barrel work really well together making the beer so delicious. Cherries and oak in the end. No carbonation. Really well balanced, tasty brew.

At BXL. Pours clear ruby red, almost no head. Aroma is sweet cherries, honey, barrel, whiskey. Taste is soursweet, woody, whiskey notes, cherry marmalade. Well balanced smooth kriek. Medium body, low carbonation. Super aroma.

UPDATED: OCT 16, 2018 On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Rubino sangue di piccione, un filo torbida, schiuma assente. Al naso note di torba, iodio, plastica, quindi emerge la ciliegia, piuttosto intensa ma un po' sporcata dalla botte. In bocca va decisamente meglio, ciliegia intensa e acidità spiccata, netta e tagliente, lunga e persistente. Corpo medio, carbonazione assente. La sensazione è che la botte abbia tolto più che aggiungere, ma la nota acida in bocca è finalmente degna di nota!

From tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, as Cantillon Kriek à L'écossaise. Hazy dark red ruby color with no head. Malty and yeasty aroma, berries-cherries, wood, floral and herbal notes, vanilla, light funk. Sweet, light bitter and acidic taste. Full silky oily body with soft carbonation.

Pours cloudy cherry with minimal pink head. Aromas tart and funky of sour baked cherries, bitter almonds, red berries. Taste has funky and light tart notes of sour cherries, bitter almonds, red berries, over ripe fruits

Drat 0.25l at Moeder Lambic Fontainas Brussels, Belgium. 29.09.2018. Pour it dark red color with no head. Aroma light smokey note, cherries, light funky. Taste sweet and sourish cheery flavor, sourish fruity, light whiskey note, I'm not sure is this the same beer from BXL? Good anyway.
