Brasserie Sacrilège "Cerise"
75cl brown glass bottle coded "2024" and "DDM: 05/2034" and sampled on 26 November 2025

Notes: This is a wild ale with cherries and coffee. It's poured a hazy pinkish orange color. Whatever head was there when I poured it has already dissipated so let me pour some more - it's pretty much white but it's also already gone. That's OK, that's to be expected from a sour beer. In the nose I'm sensing that it's tart, I clearly get the coffee, and behind that there's some fruitiness that I don't necessarily find to be cherry. On to the taste, the coffee remains but it's mixed into the cherry which now tastes like cherry. It gives it an almost tobacco-like note. It's unusual, or even weird, and I'm not sure that I like it. It's definitely an acquired taste. The acidity is fairly strong and I can feel it in my stomach. There's no bitterness, as you might expect, but it finishes quite dry. The coffee is now giving me an additional note of green bell pepper in the aroma, and the more I drink the less distracting it is in the flavor. Perhaps that's because it's warmed up a bit. In the mouth it's medium bodied and gently crisp with carbonation but also zesty due to the acidity. So what to say about this? Could the balance between coffee and cherry be better? Maybe, but maybe not. Are there any defects? No, because the lack of head retention is expected. It's well made, and each taster much simply determine for themselves whether or not they like it.
